Intrepid Ibex reached end-of-life on 30 April 2010 so I am closing the
report. The bug has been fixed in newer releases of Ubuntu.

Thinking about it, a workaround would make much more sense in casper,
since that's still installed on the live filesystem, and fixing it there
rather than in initramfs-tools means that we don't risk breaking
"normal" installed systems.

Importance: Undecid
mdz suggested that we ought to work around this in intrepid-updates to
help out people still affected by this there; I think we could probably
manage to do so in initramfs-tools. (Or, on second thoughts, maybe in
casper itself; I'll think about this in the morning.)
** Also affects: initramfs-tool
Installing 9.04 beta will avoid this problem.

Adding the link to update-initramfs is working for me. However I would

This is really a casper bug; in the event that we're running from a USB
stick, the update-initramfs script needs to be adjusted to run the real
(diverted) update-initramfs, then copy the new kernel and initramfs out
to "/cdrom" (actually the outer filesystem on the USB stick).

The fresh installation is very unstable, X crashes every 5 minutes even if i do

without a working upgrade system...
How about to set this bug to a higher importance?
