initrd-tools strange problem

["Paolo Pantaleo" <paolopantaleo@gmail.com>]

So few minutes ago I upgraded some packages, includeing initrd-tools.
I was asked if I want to overwrite /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf, and I
answered yes, since I didn't modify at all this file. Note that I
didn't install a new kernel

After that I rebooted, and when I isuued route the program freezes
before printing the default gw line, and I wasn't able to connect to
the Internet.

After that I reinstalled the kernel and everything now works ok.

I just posted this in case someone had the same problem, or if it can
be of interest for some developper.
