Hi Ben,

Thanks for the quick reply, I have checked this and this is what I found:

michael@tablet:/var/lib/initramfs-tools$ ls
linux
michael@tablet:/var/lib/initramfs-tools$ ls -lha
total 12K
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4.0K Nov  8 11:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 50 root root 4.0K Nov  8 13:13 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   65 Nov  8 13:28 linux
michael@tablet:/var/lib/initramfs-tools$ cat linux 
3d67beb8352b3a91b2aeaf552cf82bd8ee8b414c  /boot/initrd.img-linux
michael@tablet:/var/lib/initramfs-tools$ ls /boot/
config-3.2.0-4-rt-686-pae  initrd.img-linux  System.map-3.2.0-4-rt-686-pae
grub                       lost+found        vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-rt-686-pae
michael@tablet:/var/lib/initramfs-tools$ 

so it seems that it is corresponding after all?

Best regards,

Michael
