Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.81.1
Severity: important
During my sid upgrade today, I found I was unable to install the new
linux kernel [linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7 (2.6.12-2)]. It turns out the
postinst is failing like so:
Please Hit return to continue.
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: device /dev/hde1 is not a block device
Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
/dev/hde and /dev/hdf on my system are disks being used by lvm and thus
have no partitions, so /dev/hde1 does not exist.
I can recreate the error by running the command that the postinst runs:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-1-k7.new
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: device /dev/hde1 is not a block device
But I don't know how to resolve this.
For now, I'm pointing lilo at my previously installed kernel and hoping
if I have to reboot everything will be OK :-)
