Bug#644850: linux-image-2.6.32-5-kirkwood: 2.6.32-38 does not recognise USB harddisks any longer



After upgrading to Debian 6.0.3 I rebooted straight away, ending up with the issue I mentioned. Rebooting again did not help, I had to run flash-kernel to fix things...

Regards, Joerg.

This is the usual initramfs-tools hook script. In 'squeeze',
update-init! ramfs is supposed to run flash-kernel.

When you saw this problem, had you rebooted since the kernel upgrade?
