So I try root@notlookedfor:/home/hendrik# update-initramfs -u update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-686-pae /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 66: .: Can't open /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-686-pae with 2. root@notlookedfor:/home/hendrik# ls /etc/initramfs-tools/ conf.d initramfs.conf.dpkg-new modules update-initramfs.conf hooks initramfs.conf.dpkg-remove scripts update-initramfs.conf.dpkg-new root@notlookedfor:/home/hendrik# It looks as if no initrd is generated because there's no /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf And that because of an upgrade problem, either now or in the past. This isn't good for novices trying to upgrade. Will investigate. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
