Bug#403224: Help-403224bug- backup doesn't work

[pj <jao@f2s.com>]

Hi,

got this 'failed to execute /init' message on boot -----

altering /initrd.img to point to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-18-1-amd64.bak

FAILS

renaming /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-18-1-amd64
to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-18-1-amd64.pj

then

renaming /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-18-1-amd64.bak
to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-18-1-amd64

ALSO FAILS

sent this via a knoppix live distro so I cant ( as far as I know )
downgrade/upgrade the package.

Any advice on getting my system back up without starting from scratch
would be appreciated.....

Thanks ... jao@f2s.com
