I'd suggest that update-initramfs either ignores those obsolete but still present sha1sums, or at least prints a warning. At the very least update-initramfs should go on with newer kernels which are present but don't have a sha1sum file stored. Currently it seems to stop after trying all versions with a sha1sum file available. greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
