2008-10-27 18:20:50 Jonathan Thomas initramfs-tools: statusexplanation the bug is still not fixed and broke my upgrade to 8.04 hardy. After installing a fresh new hardy both the fresh install worked and the upgrade worked, too. I suspect that a second swap partition was causing the problems, as this is the only thing I changed in the old system.
