What can be done to make dpkg stop trying to replace the initrd that I have made immutable? I don't want it replaced. Nothing (now) in 5.15 will solve the problem that needs the solution reported here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/4762 The problem is dual displays cannot be used until after POST on LGA1200 motherboards with Intel a5## chipset and motherboard BIOS from Asus and ASRock. So, I need a 5.17 kernel. Anything to do with 5.15 is a waste of time, unless and untl the 4762 fix gets backported, or the motherboard makers release a fixed BIOS. I don't want to beat up my SSD rebuilding bloated initrds needlessly, and dpkg here is ignoring update_initramfs=no in update-initramfs.conf. :( -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
