Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.59b
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Today, I updated my system. It updated two things important I think :
linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 and initramfs-tools. Strangely, linux-image was
already the same version, so apt just updated a up-to-date package.

But after rebooting (as it asked for during the install process), I
received the following message : "Begin : Waiting for root file
system..." and waiting for about 4 minutes, the Busybox shell was shown.

After some research, it turned out that the initrd image file had a
problem. I tred to fix it creating a new initrd image with mkinitramfs
-k 2.6.15-1-686 -u -t, but it showed the same problem at boot up. Then I
used mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-img-2.6.15-1-686 2.6.15-1-686 and it
worked well on reboot.

Strange, isn't it ?
