        OK. All that it does is to set manipulate the environment
 variables for the hook scripts.

        That is not the same as the example from kernel-package or
 linux-image; these are scripts from initramfs-tools, that do not work
 with kernel-package kernels, apparently intentionally  be the
 initramfs-tools developer.

        You need to place in in these directories scripts you want,
 which take the actions you want. kernel-package has some examples to
 get you started.

OK, thanks.

        Can you list what is in /lib/modules/2.6.27?

False alarm. I should have mentioned that I had also built alsa-modules for this kernel and they hadn't been removed at that stage.

Arthur.
