Which Debian Version are you trying to modify ? The last Debian
Release with kernel 2.6 is Squeeze, so maybe that url is not working
for Wheezy and later

The linked url is for older releases, maybe wiki should be changed to
clarify to which Debian version it is applicable.

At Debian Jessie the initrd.gz is located at ./install.amd/initrd.gz
for  a amd64 iso image.

I hope that help
