Would a solution to this not to have the kernel provide a /etc/kernel/postinst.d/<version>/kernel.sh script, which would in turn call mkinitramfs or mkyaird (or whatever it is called), or alternatively have initramfs or yaird provide those scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/, and do the right thing, and kill the stuff doing this through /etc/kernel-img.conf for etch ? Maybe we could even compliment the scripts in /etc/kernel with a per-version configuration file to replace the main one ? the make-kpkg provided scripts would parse /etc/kernel/config/kernel.cfg and /etc/kernel/config/<version>/kernel.cfg ? > I guess we could add a version specific check into the > postinst to default to using yaird or mkinitramfs , if installed, in > preference to mkinitrd, though I am usually hesitant to add in > version dependencies into kernel-package in general, I could be > persuaded that an exception is justified in this case. Would a solution as proposed above be more to your liking :) ? Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
