Hi again,
I managed to fix it by installing initramfs-tools, though I don't
pretend to understand why it happened.
Any explanations would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Sarge to Etch. Today I downloaded kernel
2.6.14.5 from kernel.org and built it with make-kpkg as follows:
$ make-kpkg clean
$ fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version -xyz --initrd \
kernel_image
$ cd ..
# dpkg -i kernel-image*.deb
When I did this though, I got the following error:
You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version
2.6.14.5-bor01) while running a kernel of version 2.6.14.3-ver01, but
you have no suitable ramdisk generation tool installed among
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs.
This will break the installation, unless a
suitable ramdisk generation tool is also being installed right
now.
This is strange, beceause I do have /usr/sbin/mkinitrd installed - I
have the initrd-tools package installed.
Is there some other ramdisk generation tool I need?
This is the same method I used to build 2.6.14.3 only a few weeks ago,
so I don't understand why it's stopped working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Yasir
