Package: initrd-tools Version: 0.1.81.1 Severity: important During my sid upgrade today, I found I was unable to install the new linux kernel [linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7 (2.6.12-2)]. It turns out the postinst is failing like so:
Please Hit return to continue. /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: device /dev/hde1 is not a block device Failed to create initrd image. dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9 Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) /dev/hde and /dev/hdf on my system are disks being used by lvm and thus have no partitions, so /dev/hde1 does not exist. I can recreate the error by running the command that the postinst runs: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-1-k7.new /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/ /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: device /dev/hde1 is not a block device But I don't know how to resolve this. For now, I'm pointing lilo at my previously installed kernel and hoping if I have to reboot everything will be OK :-) mike -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages initrd-tools depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii cpio 2.6-1 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii cramfsprogs 1.1-6 Tools for CramFs (Compressed ROM F ii dash 0.5.2-7 The Debian Almquist Shell ii fileutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU file management utilities ii util-linux 2.12p-5 Miscellaneous system utilities initrd-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
