I don't have the background on what exactly the bug is caused by. and your very brief explanation doesn't enlighten much. I did run a native package and yes, it doesn't generate an initrd image there. But we can do better in the current way we are handling. Instead of just silently exiting, you could atleast warn the user. Attached is the patch. Ritesh -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT - http://www.researchut.com "Necessity is the mother of invention."
