Hi Manoj, I built kernel-package v12.008 from your GIT-branch and compiling a pre-release of 2.6.30-rc1-git7 (v2.6.30-rc1-457-gb21597d) with this new version.
Does this mean a Linux-kernel compiled with latest kernel-package does not need any initramfs-script in "/etc/kernel/*.d", because the generated "linux-image-$version*.deb" has all scripts to create and remove an initrd-image (scripts shipped in the Debian package) automatically? To ask precisely: These scripts are obsolete, now? /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs In about 30/35mins I can test it "live" on my system. Thanks for all answering my questions and the rapid fixes.
