I got the above error too, but I did my normal upgrade routine with just ``aptitude safe-upgrade`` Looks like I had a partial KDE (Frameworks) upgrade yesterday, so things look a bit 'funny', so the initial plan was to reboot immediately after today's upgrade ... when I saw the above error. It was only after I saw https://bugs.debian.org/1079031 that I realized how serious it was: ```sh root@bagend:~# ls -lh /boot/initrd.img-* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33M Apr 4 2022 /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-13-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37M Aug 13 01:45 /boot/initrd.img-6.10.3-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.5M Aug 19 11:10 /boot/initrd.img-6.10.4-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35M Jun 14 2023 /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-9-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37M Jul 26 00:52 /boot/initrd.img-6.9.10-amd64 ``` So my original plan, reboot immediately, would've failed. But the last dracut upgrade was from 2024-07-25, so that couldn't be it. And that's when I noticed the kmod upgrade and found this bug. ``` aptitude install kmod/testing libkmod2/testing ``` Downgraded kmod and then my ``initrd.img-6.10.4-amd64`` was 37M again, so I'm pretty sure a reboot is NOW safe again.
