Hello,

I tried everything again, nothing new, and now it works. I did more or
less the same stuff as last time (maybe some extra stuff with palo and
/boot links). I have no idea why, or rather why it didn't work before,
but all seems ok now. My apologies for the bogus bug report, you can
close this bug...

nope, it is installed, but not correctly, each time i install something
it reconfigures:


sh-3.1# dpkg -l initramfs-tools

what does the ouput of:
sh -x update-initramfs -u



sh -x update-initramfs -u
+ run_bootloader
+ '[' -x /sbin/grub ']'
+ '[' -e /boot/grub/menu.lst ']'
+ '[' -x /usr/sbin/grub ']'
+ '[' -r /etc/lilo.conf ']'
+ '[' -x /sbin/elilo ']'
+ '[' -r /etc/zipl.conf ']'
+ backup_booted_initramfs
+ initramfs_bak=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-parisc64.dpkg-bak
+ '[' '!' -r /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-parisc64.dpkg-bak ']'
+ '[' '!' -r /proc/uptime ']'
+ '[' yes = no ']'
+ '[' '!' -r /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-parisc64.bak ']'
++ awk '{printf "%d", $1 / 3600 / 24}' /proc/uptime
+ uptime_days=0
+ '[' -n 0 ']'
++ find /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-parisc64.bak -mtime +0
+ boot_initramfs=



are you sure you included everything up to the end?
aboves seems like half a trace of backup_booted_initramfs()
in update-initramfs, what does this output:
find /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-3-parisc64.bak -mtime +0



echo $?



133



tss
return value 133 means a tool was killed with signal 5, which is SIGTRAP
but i have zero idea right now how and why that happens on your box.
