Hi Henrique, I found where does the problem come from. My /tmp is mounted with "noexec" option since ages. If I remount it with "exec" before running "update-initramfs -u", there is no error and then the next reboot is ok. I had a similar problem a few weeks ago with the new flashplayer updater sc

Ok, I found the problem. Your broken initramfs image is missing the ORDER files. All initramfs images that work fine have the ORDER files. There are _three_ codepaths in the initramfs script/functions: one wants the ORDER files (which are missing in your initramfs image), the other wants tsort (
