Interesting, and thanks for reassining. In my case, of course, this is all but helpful - I do have a bunch of vanilla upstream kernels installed from some recent regression test, including some which are way newer than the current Debian kernel (hence the weird version number). I am however actually using the latest Debian kernel. (I don't reboot that often, but when I do, I simply pick the right kernel manually.) Hence the hook doesn't even bother to update the initramfs for the kernel I am actually using. Kind regards. Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
