Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.97.2
Severity: normal
Hello,
there was a bug about initramfs not created for kernel-package kernels.
I am trying to build a live CD with a kernel-package kernel and the
initramfs is still not created:
P: Begin install linux-image...
cp: cannot stat `chroot/boot/initrd.img-*': No such file or directory
P: Begin unmounting filesystems...
r...@virtual:6(2) 07131715 1161]/srv/dl-test # ls chroot/boot/
config-2.6.34-1-686 System.map-2.6.34-1-686 vmlinuz-2.6.34-1-686
r...@virtual:6(2) 07131716 1162]/srv/dl-test # chroot chroot
update-initramfs -u -k all
r...@virtual:6(2) 07131716 1163]/srv/dl-test # chroot chroot
update-initramfs -c -k all
r...@virtual:6(2) 07131716 1164]/srv/dl-test # chroot chroot
update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.34-1-686
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.34-1-686
Moreover there is no way to diagnose this failure as the initramfs-tools
kernel postinst.d script does not say if it buils an initramfs or not.

Says who? I think the package is still in use (though it has
been sadly neglected in hte last couple of month, though that is changing)

Have you tried the initramfs scripts that come with
kernel-package documentation?

This is documented, i think.
Please read /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README for
instructions on how to get an initramfs.
