Re: System won't boot anymore after upgrade to jessie

Please check if you have a file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy
or any other file containing a different configuration. Anything in
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/ takes precedence over the main config file.

Thank you, it was "dep" indeed!

There is "lsinitramfs" from initramfs-tools.

Precious! Lvm seems to be there. From the error my system throw, I have to include at least ehci-pci, ehci-orion, ehci-hcd and ohci-hcd and have back the control of the usb keyboard.

Reading here, though I think they were talking about ubuntu, (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1365365) there is a module to manage raid called dmraid. Maybe including that could solve the problem?

Here is my lsinitramfs output for the not booting kernel

/boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64
