What does file /boot/initrd.img-3.18.0-trunk-686-pae report? Your initramfs may be compressed using a different tool, or may even not be compressed at all. Depending on exactly what the situation is, you may need to use one of several different commands, not all of which can be easily substituted into the above without changing syntax. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
