I had a similar problem described here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/10/msg00264.html Stephen Powell gave the same advice as above. :-) Following that, I tried this: # grep -r yaird /etc/* And got this: /etc/kernel-img.conf: ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird I.e. in /etc/kernel-img.conf is a line you need to change to this: ramdisk = /usr/sbin/update-initramfs Worked for me. I wonder if a bug ever got filed.... cheers, Joel > -- > .''`.
