Bug#582177: initramfs-tools: fails to load ramdisk on boot; more information

["Cropper, C. A." <cropper@acm.org>]

More information.

In order to get my system to boot I have to go into the editor in GRUB at 
boot-time and change the 

initrd  /initrd.img-2.6.32-3-amd64

to

initrd  /initrd.img-2.6.32-3-amd64.bak

IF I copy the 

initrd.img-2.6.32-3-amd64.bak

file to 

initrd.img-2.6.32-3-amd64

on /boot (and rerun update-grub)
the computer will still NOT boot (i.e it still fails to load the ramdisk).

Summary: I am wondering if this is a GRUB problem.  I still believe it is a 
initramfs-tools problem because it only happened when the initramfs-tools 
package was changed.
