During a security update dpkg ran update-initramfs. While that was running power to my PC was lost.
When I turned my PC on, it wouldn't boot. I had to boot a rescue CD and manually run update-initramfs |

Unfortunately I didn't take down the errors. If they are needed I can try recreate the bug. |

When I turned my PC on after the power loss, it wouldn't boot on any kernel (the default one and the rescue one). I had to boot a rescue CD and manually run update-initramfs.
Unfortunately I didn't take down the errors. If they are needed I can try recreate the bug. |

initramfs-tools: statusexplanation |
The initramfs is created separately and moved into place in Hardy. If this is reproduced, we can better diagnose problems in the future. |
Yes, we fixed this bug in hardy.
initramfs-tools (0.85eubuntu24) hardy; urgency=low
* Implement the initramfs-tools part of the initramfs error handling spec
* update-initramfs:
- Make a hard link to the original initramfs image, rather than moving
it out of the way.
- Create a new initramfs image to ${initramfs}.new, to ensure we still
have a functional initramfs in case of failure. The original initramfs
only gets replaced when a new image is successfully created.
* scripts/functions:
- Added add_mountroot_fail_hook function to allow scripts in
init-premount to register a hook to allow extra information
to be given to the user, in the event of a non-existant root
device.
- The panic function now runs any registered mountroot fail hooks that
were previously registered, and only does so when passed the -r
argument from the calling function.
* scripts/local: Call the panic function with -r to run any registered
mountroot fail hooks when a root device cannot be found.
