"Shame on you" is not a helpful comment in a bug report. Please keep the conversation technical.

The crash files attached to your bug report indicate a problem with initramfs-tools, but the description you typed in has nothing to do with that. What is the output when you type 'sudo update-initramfs -u' in a terminal window?
