Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.59b Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Today, I updated my system. It updated two things important I think : linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 and initramfs-tools. Strangely, linux-image was already the same version, so apt just updated a up-to-date package. But after rebooting (as it asked for during the install process), I received the following message : "Begin : Waiting for root file system..." and waiting for about 4 minutes, the Busybox shell was shown. After some research, it turned out that the initrd image file had a problem. I tred to fix it creating a new initrd image with mkinitramfs -k 2.6.15-1-686 -u -t, but it showed the same problem at boot up. Then I used mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-img-2.6.15-1-686 2.6.15-1-686 and it worked well on reboot.
