[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#585677: linux-image-2.6.32-5-486: impossible to mount partitions (except /)

[Stéphane Blondon]

I don't know if there is a link or if it could be useful:
now, when I update the system, there is an error at the end of the
install process due to the failure to reconfigure initramfs-tools.

Note that I run an older kernel (2.6.32-3-486) than the kernel version
(2.6.32-5-486) the script tries to update.
