Hello May be this is about your problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=523835 ? If it is true, you can comment following string in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools: # kernel-package passes an extra arg; hack to not run under kernel-package [ -z "$2" ] || exit 0 or after installing your kernel package run update-initramfs -c -k <your_kernel_version> dpkg-reconfigure <your_kernel_package_name> for updating bootloader.
