Bug#459445: initramfs-tools: update-initramfs does not consider latest kernel by default
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.91d
Severity: normal
Hi,
when running update-initramfs without specifying a kernel version (-k), the
default version should be the latest kernel version (according to manpage).
It is not in my case:
$ ls /var/lib/initramfs-tools/
2.6.22-3-amd64 2.6.23-1-amd64
$ ls /boot/initrd.*
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-amd64 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.23-1-amd64
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-amd64.bak /boot/initrd.img-2.6.23-1-amd64.bak
$ uname -r
2.6.23-1-amd64
# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-amd64
Note that update_initramfs is set to "yes" in /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf.
When changing this option to "all", the expected behaviour work.
Cheers,
Julien
