Making of the initrd is part of the kernel %post script. If, for some
reason, you're using a 3rd party module in your current kernel, that
initrd thinks is required, then you should have gotten a message about the
%post script failing. In all the tests I did, I use rpm manually or with
yum, and the initrd.img was created.
Can anybody else duplicate this failure using apt?
