Binary package hint: dmraid

Running Ubuntu 10.10 NRE booting from 4Gb usb stick - trying to get Unity going. It has reverted to Gnome desktop. On installation an error was described saying the appropriate driver was required. Nvidia driver, current and 96, have both been tried, only to get further error messages - although package lists show it to be installed. Further attempts to run Unity result in more error messages. Unity fails to launch.

This looks like a problem in initramfs-tools, which is failing with:

cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory
