I installed it in order to execute the command you suggested. Now that I have it, the box stays up also with the new kernel. dpkg.log says qcontrol was installed until March 23, with enough bad luck the consequences on initrd became visible only with the kernel update. This would answer question 1 and 4 above. Why did I remove it, dpkg.log doesn't say ;) Thanks for your invaluable support. I owe you at least one pint of your favorite drink ;) ciao, Domenico -- 3B10 0CA1 8674 ACBA B4FE FCD2 CE5B CF17 9960 DE13
