Bug#729985: linux-image-3.2.0-4-486: Kernel panic Unable to mount root on old laptop with linux-image-3.2.0-4-486

Ben, 

You were right, the initrd was corrupted. I rerun

$ dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.2.0-4-486

and it worked.

What's strange is that the file list given by lsinitramfs is the exact same one from before the reconfigure. But the size differs a bit. I didn't backup the older initrd so I can't compare right now.

Not sure if this is a bug or an random issue,

Feel free to close the bug report.

Thanks a million.
