Rule of thumb: If you see errors during generation of initramfs, do not reboot but investigate first. If ``ls -lh /boot/initrd*`` does NOT show anything out of the ordinary (wrt the updated initramfs), then you're probably fine. And in general: if there are problems, it's *very* likely APT warned you about in advance and/or during execution. So don't use `-y` and read what APT tells you and then use common sense. With the kmod issue, I did see the errors mentioned in the bug report(s), so I investigated it. I reported it here given the severity AND it came *together* with KDE related updates which could (and did) fix previous KDE related issues. After those updates I wanted to reboot directly. Luckily I didn't because I choose to first investigate the reported problem. Given by the messages on #debian-next, that's apparently not something that everyone does ;-P Cheers, Diederik
