cannot install kernel images anymore
Two recent attempts to install kernel images failed.
My stock backup kernel failed to upgrade yesterday.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=287085
and now trying to add another as a backup also failed, but for different reasons???
In both cases the initrd image could not be created.

dan@technonerd:~$
My current kernel kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8-smp runs OK, but no backup.
There exists some type of bug, but in which package?
I'm far from being an expert, so any help or suggestions?
