Hi Marc,

rm -r works fine here:
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/cu$ mkdir -p t/{a,b}/{a,b}
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/cu$ touch t/{a,b}/{a,b}/f
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/cu$ find t
t
t/a
t/a/a
t/a/a/f
t/a/b
t/a/b/f
t/b
t/b/a
t/b/a/f
t/b/b
t/b/b/f
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/cu$ rm -r t
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/cu$ echo $?
0

and update-initramfs works fine as well:
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/cu$ sudo update-initramfs -k 2.6.23-1-686 -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.23-1-686
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/cu$ echo $?
0

Could you point to something specific that is/was broken for you?

The output of strace rm -r ... could be useful too.
