I see the same error in the current edgy udev: Setting up udev (093-0ubuntu2) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-3-686 cpio: ./lib/udev/path_id: No such file or directory
The problem is that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev (from the udev package) does this: copy_exec /lib/udev/path_id /lib/udev but the udev package no longer contains /lib/udev/path_id I don't know whether that line needs removing from the script, or whether the path_id file needs adding to the package. I worked around the error message by doing: sudo touch /lib/udev/path_id (but didn't try booting since, so I don't know if it worked) -- Missing file while generating initramfs https://launchpad.net/bugs/50740 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
