Have modified the script, $VER is "3.13.2", to do a make install ahead of the
mkinitramfs -o/boot/initrd-$VER.img $VER && \
line but these directories: now making a new /boot/initrd.3.13.2.img find: `/lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch': No such file or directory find: `/lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch': No such file or directory find: `/lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch/': No such file or directory find: `/lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch/': No such file or directory find: `/lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch/': No such file or directory find: `/lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch/': No such file or directory find: `/lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch/': No such file or directory find: `/lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch/': No such file or directory find: `/lib/modules/3.13.2/kernel/arch/': No such file or directory and copying it to initrd-3.13.2.img
are still not being made, initrd-$VER.img is not being made, and that path does not exist in the /etc/initramfs-tools directory. initramfs-tools has been re-installed.
I'm stuck. Where can I buy a paddle? :)
Thanks.
