Bug#528176: [linux-image-2.6-686] linux-image-2.6-686 fails to configure (unable to create initrd image)
Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.29+19
Severity: serious
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
The post-installation script for the 2.6.29 kernel fails,
leaving the package not cofigured.
Looks like both update-initramfs and mkinitrd.yaird are
called with wrong arguments (respectively -m and -t).
I have installed initramfs-tools 0.93.2 and yard 0.0.13-5.
Below, the error:
# dpkg --configure -a
