Hi,

I run this:

~Sun Mar 04-13:57:19SDA6# update-initramfs -u

and I get:

/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-486 does not exist. Cannot update.

That happens to be true. (Surprise!)

But how does he know that initrd.img-2.6.18-4-486 is the 'newest kernel' as the man-page has it?

-u    This mode updates an existing initramfs.


Meaning as per initrd.img link in /
If that link is not valid then you get the message.
So -u updates per link, not just any existing initramfs
