Package: dkms
Version: 2.0.22.0-1
Severity: grave

While installing new mptsas driver (from file
mptlinux-4.18.00.00-1dkms.noarch.rpm) using dkms I get an error from
dkms. The error is shown here:

===========================================================================
Saving old initrd as /boot/initrd-2.6.26-2-amd64_old
Making new initrd as /boot/initrd-2.6.26-2-amd64
(If next boot fails, revert to the _old initrd image)
update-initramfs....(bad exit status: 1)
Problems with mkinitrd detected.  Automatically uninstalling this
module.

-------- Uninstall Beginning --------
Module:  mptlinux
Version: 4.18.00.00
Kernel:  2.6.26-2-amd64 (x86_64)
-------------------------------------

Status: Before uninstall, this module version was ACTIVE on this kernel.
===========================================================================

As you may see, the mkinitrd fails, probably because it is using a wrong
pathname for initrd image. Infact the correct pathname
is /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64.

Bye,
Giuseppe

Well, therefore I'm closing this bug.

Cheers,
