I've made the change to /usr/sbin/mkinitrd,
but I can't try it for a day or two.
Just to be sure I understand - should I now remake my initrd image?
I thought this kernel used an initramfs rather than an intird image:
# file /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-1-686-smp
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-1-686-smp: gzip compressed data, from Unix, max
compression
# gzip -dc /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-1-686-smp |file -
/dev/stdin: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)
So I thought I should run
# update-initramfs -v -u -k 2.6.16-1-686-smp
But I can't see anywhere in the intiramfs-tools scripts that
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd is called. I checked for similar greedy-globbing
code in mkinitramfs but could not see any.
Perhaps make-kpkg (kernel-package 8.135) is still calling mkinitrd,
when the backport is built? In which case I should make my own
kernel-image package using /boot/config.2.6.16-1-686-smp ?
Should I upgrade to kernel-package-10.052~bpo.1 and use that?
Thanks for your response and suggestions
