I've just removed linux-source-2.6.17 from feisty, since it's superseded
by newer versions (2.6.20). You should not attempt to regenerate its
initramfs; if you had it installed before then, the one you had before
would have worked just fine, and if you didn't, then you should use
feisty's kernel.
mkinitrd does not work with current kernel versions. Don't use it. The
current tool is mkinitramfs (or its wrapper, update-initramfs).
To prevent people running into this problem, we should make mkinitrd
refuse to generate an initrd for kernels without devfs support, and
refer them to mkinitramfs or update-initramfs instead.
** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: linux-source-2.6.17 => initrd-tools
Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
