Assuming that you're building kernel packages with kernel-package, you may be being hit by this: "The image postinst no longer runs the initramfs creation commands. Instead, there are example scripts provided that will perform the task. These scripts will work for official kernel images as well." /usr/share/doc/NEWS.Debian.gz Basically, the short version of what you need to do is: cp /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ [This really needs to be in a faq somewhere, if it isn't already.
