installing kernel on vfat fs failed

[Harald Dunkel <harald.dunkel@t-online.de>]

Hi folks,

Installation of linux-kernel failed with

Setting up linux-image-2.6.23-1-686 (2.6.23-2) ...
Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk.
Failed to symbolic-link initrd.img-2.6.23-1-686 to initrd.img.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.23-1-686 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Of course it was my fault since I clicked on [yes] to create
symbolic links, even though it was a vfat filesystem.

Do you think it would be reasonable to add some if-statement to
the kernel installer checking for a vfat filesystem before creating
the symbolic link or (even better) before asking the user?


Regards

Harri
