It seems that Markus is seeing a similar problem. Below is part of his
syslog. Do you see the same log messages in your syslog?
--- quoting from Markus's email to #407460 ---
Last week I got a new NSLU2, took the new install-image from
http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-dls.php and tried to install.
Hardly everithing went good till the installation of the base system.
There I got the same error as mentioned here:
initramfs-tools could not be installed.
Here my syslog:
