This is a misunderstanding. mkinitramfs shouldn't be affeced by /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d settings. This dir is for stuff that may help on boot.

But currently this is not > possible if a value is assigned to BOOT via a file in conf.d. stupid naming of aboves dir agreed, but what you are trying to do is deprecated. a packaged mkinitramfs script may change values in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/ kind regards -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
