Thanks for the quick response! my sha512sum says # sha512sum initramfs-tools_0.98.5~1.gbpcf5fb6_all.deb f0dd4af56ac9713027543ba4c1beb62edc7c306575c2f65d8a1b62daf1a26cbe58607fd95c6203c197779c643f0efbeb019eb4402eb62ca415aae99b02706b8d initramfs-tools_0.98.5~1.gbpcf5fb6_all.deb
so the later part is identical to your provides sum. Is it costumary to only use part of the hash? Anyhow back to the topic: I tried your deb with the following result: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-2-orion5x readlink: fehlender Operand „readlink --help“ gibt weitere Informationen. Warning: /etc/fstab parse error; guessing that the root device is /dev/sda2 Press Ctrl-C to abort build, or Enter to continue read: 143: arg count Generating kernel u-boot image... done. Flashing kernel... done. Flashing initramfs... done. so it did indeed do "something" but the guess "/dev/sda2" looks wrong. I would expect /dev/sda1 best regards -- GRATIS!
