Public bug reported:
I have dist-upgraded to feisty today and reinstalled old linux image
2.6.15, in order to build one of my 3rd party kernel modules which is
not available yet for 2.6.20. I have been unable to boot the system
because automatically generated initrd has zero size, see below:
--- cut (apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-27-686) ---
Setting up linux-image-2.6.15-27-686 (2.6.15-27.50) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-686
W: udev hook script requires at least kernel version 2.6.19
W: not generating requested initramfs for kernel 2.6.15-27-686
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-686 points to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-686 --
doing nothing at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.15-27-686.postinst line 565.
/vmlinuz does not exist. Installing from scratch, eh?
Or maybe you don't want a symbolic link here. Hmm? Lets See.

I don't know what's happening here, seems like older kernels can't be
installed anymore ?
