Marking as Confirmed. That's a good question. The system should be
left bootable for as long as possible. What's the approximate time
difference between creating it to /tmp and writing it over, versus
creating-and-writing on-the-fly?
For Gutsy, 9.2 MB for initrd with a 35 MB/sec disk would be 0.26 seconds
to copy over. Anybody measure update-initramfs with a stopwatch?
Of course, when you lose power, anything is possible. That is why I
have an UPS on each of my computers.
To the reporter: Did the backup copies and/or older kernel not boot
either? Granted you would have to login with a rescue shell and
manually copy over. I'm running Linux Mint 4 XFCE and I've got backups
of my original Gutsy kernel and initrd. With updates you would have
multiple kernels and initrd images.
