Package: flash-kernel Version: 3.45 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Hook script "initramfs-hook/flash-kernel" will be called when update-initramfs is invoked. However flash-kernel only build the latest kernel version it find, rather than the specific version passing from update-initramfs. For example, after running "update-initramfs -uk <kver>", the <kver> is successfully passed to "initramfs-hook/flash-kernel", and then "flash-kernel" script, but "flash-kernel" script simply ignore that version, except adding a "--force" flag, which is why this patch is here. I also checked the log for initramfs-hook/flash-kernel, as commit 7bacb9 the kernel version was actually not passed to "flash-kernel" script, but from commit e05fc9, this has been changed, which I think it means the flash-kernel script need to honor what kernel version update-initramfs is working on. Thanks and looking forward to your comments.

This patch fixes that, by adding a "--force" flag to flash-kernel script.
