Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.39-3
Severity: important

There appears to be a race condition in the installation of this package.  I believe that
the same issue was present in the 2.6.38 package as well.  The package will fail to install
because the postinst hook attempts to flash the kernel and initramfs before the initramfs
has been created.  We may be seeing a variance in the way that this platform handles
the kernel and ramdisk as compared to the mainstream releases.

The error reported is that the kernel/ramdisk flash operation aborts because the initramfs
is not found.  Indeed, there is no initramfs in /boot when the postinst hook runs.  When I
reinstall the previously installed kernel I can see that the update-initramfs script is
called *after* the kernel and initramfs are flashed.

I can work around the issue by unpacking the package, calling depmod and update-initramfs
manually and then reinstalling the kernel package.

Description: 
 flash-kernel - utility to make certain embedded devices bootable

Closes: 550584
Changes: 
 flash-kernel (3.0~rc.2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New kernel and initramfs hooks, new logic: flash-kernel always installs
     the latest version according to linux-version and ignores other calls.
     - Fixes installation of new kernel ABIs; closes: #550584.
     - NEWS, man page: document new behavior.
     - flash-kernel depends on linux-base >= 3.2 for linux-version.
   * Add support for triggers; see #550584 for discussion.
   * Misc syntax fixes / cleanups / refactoring; tweak output.
     - Fix some bogus messages in error conditions.
     - Refactor flash-kernel-installer and initramfs-tools hook to use shared
       function and database.
     - Split code and testsuite out.
   * Toshiba AC100 / Android handling; thanks to Julian Andres Klode for his
     input (and patience :-)
     - abootimg would now be installed via flash-kernel-installer.
     - set default root= in initrd.
     - drop Android-Boot-Config hurts more than it helps
     - don't try checking for a specific size; instead let abootimg handle size
       checks for us; size checks were meant to identify the largest partition,
       instead just scan all partitions from MMC and chose the largest one.
   * Add OMAP4 Pandaboard support.
   * Split out database in its own file under /usr/share/flash-kernel/db/;
     document format in README.
   * Drop Extra-Cmdline used in EfikaMX boot scripts; instead rely on initrd to
     set root= (as for other boards).
   * Drop accidental support for Thecus N4100 in f-k-i.
