Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o
Severity: normal
i have two debian installations on my harddisk(s).
a. the main installation on /dev/md0
b. a second installation on /dev/sda2
1. i boot into /dev/md0
2. mount /dev/sda2 /mnt && chroot /mnt
(from now on *inside* chroot)
3. mount /proc
4. apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade
-> a new kernel is installed but mkinitramfs-kpkg fails silently:

afairc, using "mkinitramfs" i get the output that /sys is not mounted so
i suggest that this error is also displayed by mkinitramfs-kpkg.
thank you for taking care of this issue.
cheers,
raoul
