Hi list, I've come across a rather freak problem and to spare others the time, I thought, I'd post the solution although no one asked.
The error that might occur is cpio: (0x00000000): No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `(0x00000000)': No such file or directory run-parts: /usr/share/initrd-tools/scripts/e2fsprogs exited with return code 1 after You install / upgrade a new kernel on an amd64 System. The problem seems to occur only, if You use both the amd64 and a -386/-k7 kernel. As far as I understood, some binaries are linked to 64 bit libraries, when running with the amd64 Kernel. This results in a mkinitrd failure, when installing or upgrading a 32 bit kernel. The solution is rather simple: Don't upgrade the 32bit Kernel out of an amd64 Kernel environment. If this has already happened, boot the system with a 32bit only kernel (for example the non-optimised -386 or from a rescue disk) and do a dpkg --pending --configure.
