Dear Friends, We spent several hours trying to compile a fresh 2.6.30 kernel. Debian stock kernels only provide the new firewire interface. So we compiled a kernel with the old stack.
It took us several hours to understand why kernel initrd was missing. At first I thought it was a question of static configuration of modules. I did not look for a missing initrd, because the build scrit included --initrd as usual. This has been the case for so many years. I don't believe my eyes this could change. Please revert. I wonder how your guys can think this is a "fixed" bug or a question of documentation. I hope you are kidding. Finally, I copied as proposed the following scripts: cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools ; cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools For Debian sake, please include these two files into initramfs-tools. You will save the time of hundreds of people. If you respect users, please do. Kind regards, Jean-Michel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
