This is an excellent question. That particular application /home/martin/linux-2.6.29/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh is a 294-line bash script which appears to take a bunch of file names as input and turn them in to a cpio archive but I could be wrong. The question is, where does that y come from? I have a second etch P.C. at work and it fails at the same place. Both systems were upgraded to etch from sarge last Fall and seem otherwise healthy. My guess is that I have either a missing library somewhere or maybe a bad execution path as the source should be self-contained. At least this is the gist I get when reading documentation. I am pretty sure this is not related to gcc as it doesn't appear to even get to the compilation. It almost looks like something is trying to answer y for yes in the wrong place. It's certainly not me. I'm just sitting there letting it all happen. The command I used was make-kpkg buildpackage This was after make-kpkg clean. Just plain make does the same thing also.
