Is there any update on this yet? It's been nearly two years, and still the bug persists. Today I had once again to simply comment-out the "exit 1" line in the modules test in /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs, and then re-run it.. prints the error about not having the directory, but otherwise runs absolutely fine. Specifically, it actually creates my init ramdisk, which the machine can boot from.
Perhaps you could just turn this error into a warning, and remove the
exit 1 ?
Something like this?
