Package: initramfs-tools Severity: wishlist Version: 0.91e User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch hardy ubuntu Attached is a patch to improve the way update-initramfs handles the generating of new or updated initramfs images for kernels. It puts in place a few measures to ensure that if there is not enough disk space on /boot, a previous initramfs is still in tact, to allow the booting of that kernel. The patch applies against current git head. See the Ubuntu specification found at the following URL for more information: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyInitramfsErrorHandling
