Um, thanks; but I don't understand the reassignment of bug number 505609 to package initramfs-tools. If you read my previous posts to the bug log, it is clear that this problem started with a change to the maintainer scripts between Etch and Lenny. Please read my posts again carefully. Then consider whether this is really a bug in initramfs-tools or a bug in the kernel maintainer scripts. initramfs-tools only gets involved when update-initramfs -u is issued. And it *does* invoke the boot loader under these conditions, if "do_bootloader = yes" is present in /etc/kernel-img.conf and lilo is installed. But for a kernel install or reconfigure, it is the responsibility of the kernel maintainer scripts to invoke the bootloader. See also, for example, linux-image-2.6.26-2-s390.postinst, where zipl is assigned as the bootloader on line 38. This really is an "open and shut case", if only I can the kernel people to actually look at it! Please look at it! -- .''`.
