Desember 11th 2012 For your information only. I was affected by this error after the daily fresh upgrade of Ubuntu 13.04 by using the commands sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
The error is gone after reinstalling the two initramfs-tools packages, as the following command output will show. ================= sudo update-initramfs -u [sudo] password for cbe: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.7.0-5-generic modprobe: ../tools/modprobe.c:550: print_action: Assertion `kmod_module_get_initstate(m) == KMOD_MODULE_BUILTIN' failed.
