Hm, but isn't update-initramfs the suggested way to create/update initramfs files? mkinitramfs doesn't create sha1sum and backups, right? Am I right saying: * use update-initramfs for general purposes (default initramfs configuration, generated initramfs files to be used as /boot/* on the system the initramfs has been generated on) * use mkinitramfs for generating specific initramfs configurations without messing with the "general purpose" initramfs files (for purposes like netbooting) ? If so feel free to close this bugreport. thx && regards, -mika-
