#82057 — Bug#1065698: update-initramfs: -k all stopped working

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.142

The update-initramfs manpage documents -k all, and I know I used
that in Kubuntu hardy times several times, but it does not work
any longer, it just does nothing.

Calling without -k of course only updates the image for the current kernel.

Feel free to downgrade severity if needed.

It works for me.

- What's the full command line that doesn't work?
- What does "linux-version list" say?

Hi Ben

>It works for me.

unfortunately, I do not have the system in question any more.

Looking at the version, it’s the same as in bookworm (sans deb12u1),
and a bookworm/armel system I have (RPi 1) indeed succeeds.

>- What's the full command line that doesn't work?

	sudo update-initramfs -uk all

>- What does "linux-version list" say?

Wish I knew. It might be an m68k thing, as there have been issues
with how different architectures name their kernels in the past.

Cc’ing cbmuser, maybe you could try to see if the above command
does the right thing (regenerate all initrds for all kernel versions)
on an m68k (nōn-qemu-user) box with more than one kernel installed?

bye,
