Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.81.1
Symptom:
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd fails to create the initrd image
Cause:
When mkinitrd calls for mkcramfs (at line 1413 in this version) his
working directory appears to be set to
"/tmp/mkinitrd.[randomstring]/initrd" instead of ".". The newly
created image is deleted as soon as the mkinitrd scripts ends and
removes the tmp direcory.
Solution:
Backup the working directory in a shell variable and then call
mkcramfs with the correct path for the output file

The initrd-tools package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/393092 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
