Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.90a
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The initramfs image generated by update-initramfs
stalls at a "waiting for root filesystem..." message.
After roughly 5 minutes, it drops to a shell saying the
filesystem doesn't exist. Other initramfs images(yaird)
work with same kernel, same bug on all kernals.
This is critical because this command is used to generate
the original initramfs when the kernel is installed.

i already told to reinstall properly.
and yes yaird is not supported.
