Title:
kernel update fails when kernels from other distributions are
installed in shared /boot
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Jaunty:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I have multiple linux distributions installed on my computer with a
shared /boot partition. I have had this configuration working for a
while now with ubuntu as one of the distributions. With jaunty,
updates break the boot process every time there is a kernel update and
dselect attempts to regenerate initramfs as it incorrectly selects the
image from another distribution rather than the ubuntu image. The
error message is as follows:
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu21) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-initrd-2.6.27.7-desktop-1mnb.img
Cannot find /lib/modules/initrd-2.6.27.7-desktop-1mnb.img
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-initrd-2.6.27.7-desktop-1mnb.img
dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
In this case, deselect is trying to update the initrd image for Mandriva -
instead of regenerating the ubuntu image: initrd.img-2.6.28-8-generic
