I have (finally) decided to give Debian 8 a try, after some mucking
around I installed. THe install medium was an Debian 8.3 i386 DVD, and
was upgraded from the net. The install of the kernel produces the
following error.....
-----------------cut here------------------------
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.120+deb8u3) ...

-----------------cut here----------------------
Now it actually works OK, the ramdisk image was installed correctly.
What it has done though it prevents the kernel from being upgraded. I
have sort of got around this by compiling my own kernel (I do this as a
matter of course anyway), this of course required me to dump systemd as
it WILL NOT work with a standard kernel from kernel.org.
