Package: initrd-tools Version: 0.1.74 Hello,
I updated a woody installation (installed via woody-xfs CD) to sarge. Everything went good. After all I'd like to install a recent kernel (from 2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs to 2.6.7-1-686). I did this several times before on different machines - never had a problem. But all other machines were installed via a normal woody CD not via woodx-xfs CD (see: http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/) - so I don't know if this could cause that...but maybe... See what happened: # apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 ... Setting up kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 (2.6.7-2) ... cp: preserving permissions for `initrd/bin2': Invalid argument Failed to create initrd image. dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9 Errors were encountered while processing: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I'm unable to install a recent kernel image. I figured that /usr/sbin/mkinitrd must cause the error "cp: preserving permissions for `initrd/bin2': Invalid argument". Let me know if you need more specific information. BTW: I don't use LVM. Cheers, Oliver
