Re: HP ZX6000 & Debian "testing"
Hi Patrick,
And welcome aboard :-)
Aren't you hitting this issue?
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638068
In this case, the only solution at this time is to downgrade
initramfs-tools from 0.99 to 0.98.8. But you'll have to downgrade
kernel too, as Debian kernels > 2.6.39 require initramfs-tools 0.99.
Hope this helps,
Émeric
