Problem with initramfs-tools on P1-133MHz machine



Hello there,

I'm emailing this to the address provided by aptitude for the 'initramfs-tools' package. Hopefully this is the right address to report this problem...

I'm running a bare-bones Debian Linux on a P1-133MHz machine with 64MB of RAM (mostly to get a stable machine to run SetiBOINC on. ;)

Anyway, I can't get the initramfs-tools 0.85f to setup because of the following message when I do an 'apt-get upgrade':

Setting up initramfs-tools (0.85f) ...
/usr/sbin/update-initramfs: line 220: 7427 Broken pipe sha1sum "${initramfs}" 7428 Illegal instruction | diff "${STATEDIR}/${version}" -
/dev/null 2>&1
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-486 has been altered. Cannot update.

It seems one of the tools used by initramfs-tools (perhaps sha1sum?) is using an instruction not supported by the Pentium-1?

What should I do? Report to the right maintainer/team? Uninstall initramfs-tools and use an other 'ramdisk-fs' tool?

Regards,

Patrick.
