Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.74
Severity: important
I can't pinpoint the exact release but the behaviour of
"update-initramfs -u" has changed recently. "update-initramsfs -u" is
used in several postinst scripts and formerly updated the initrd of all
installed kernels. The new behaviour is, to only update the initrd of
the latest instlled kernel, which is wrong imho.
E.g. you have kernel 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 installed and you are currently
running 2.6.16, "update-initramfs -u" will only update the 2.6.17
initrd.
I suggest to revert to the old behaviour and make "-u" update all
installed kernels. Atm I have to specify each kernel separately vi -k to
update them all.
Cheers,
Michael
