Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.74

Hello,

I updated a woody installation (installed via woody-xfs CD) to sarge. 
Everything went good. After all I'd like to install a recent kernel (from 
2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs to 2.6.7-1-686).

I did this several times before on different machines - never had a problem. 
But all other machines were installed via a normal woody CD not via woodx-xfs 
CD (see: http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/) - so I don't know if 
this could cause that...but maybe...


See what happened:

# apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686

...

Setting up kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 (2.6.7-2) ...
cp: preserving permissions for `initrd/bin2': Invalid argument
Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9
Errors were encountered while processing:
 kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I'm unable to install a recent kernel image. I figured that /usr/sbin/mkinitrd 
must cause the error "cp: preserving permissions for `initrd/bin2': Invalid 
argument".

Let me know if you need more specific information. BTW: I don't use LVM.



Cheers,
Oliver

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.
