You could try to switch to mkinitrd (from the initrd-tools package) for the generation of the initrd. You can specify your preferred initrd creator in /etc/kernel-img.conf with the "ramdisk" option; see the manpage of kernel-img.conf. Then run the "dpkg -i linux-image-..." command again. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
