Without this option, the example initramfs hook scripts bundled in with kernel-package will take no action on installation. The same effect can be achieved by setting the environment variable INITRD to any non empty value. Please note that unless there are hook scripts in /etc/kernel or added into the hook script parameter of /etc/kernel-img.conf. no initrd will be created (the bundled in example scripts are just examples -- user action is required before anything happens). So unless I set the INITRD variable or pass --initrd to make-kpkg, the initrd-generating script should not run. And I've not set the INITRD variable. This has been working fine before, so the bug is new. / Anders -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (51, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (50, 'unstable'), (40, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.11 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to sv_SE.UTF8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii binutils 2.20.1-10 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii build-essential 11.5 Informational list of build-essent ii debianutils 3.2.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii file 5.04-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-11 GNU Internationalization utilities ii make 3.81-8 An utility for Directing compilati ii module-init-tools 3.12~pre2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii po-debconf 1.0.16 tool for managing templates file t ii util-linux 2.16.2-0 Miscellaneous system utilities Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii cpio 2.11-4 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar Versions of packages kernel-package suggests: pn btrfs-tools <none> (no description available) ii bzip2 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii docbook-utils 0.6.14-1.1 Convert Docbook files to other for ii e2fsprogs 1.41.12-1 ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utiliti pn grub | grub2 <none> (no description available) ii initramfs-tools [linux-in 0.94.4 tools for generating an initramfs pn jfsutils <none> (no description available) ii libncurses5-dev [libncurs 5.7+20100313-2 developer's libraries and docs for pn linux-source | kernel-sou <none> (no description available) ii mcelog 1.0~pre3-1 x86-64 Machine Check Exceptions co pn oprofile <none> (no description available) pn pcmciautils <none> (no description available) pn ppp <none> (no description available) ii procps 1:3.2.8-9 /proc file system utilities pn quota <none> (no description available) pn reiserfsprogs <none> (no description available) pn squashfs-tools <none> (no description available) ii udev 157-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo pn xfsprogs <none> (no description available) ii xmlto 0.0.23-2 XML-to-any converter -- Configuration Files: /etc/kernel-pkg.conf changed: maintainer := Unknown Kernel Package Maintainer email := [email protected] priority := Low CONCURRENCY_LEVEL := 3 -- no debconf information

That script apparently does not honor the no initrd tag that kernel-package images pass to it. I suggest using the initramfs scripts shipped with kernel-package, and not the ones shipped with initramfs, since the initramfs maintainer does not support kernl-package kernels (or non-initrd kernels for that matter). manoj -- The only real advantage to punk music is that nobody can whistle it.
