Subject: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686: unable to install kernel image because of failure
 with mkinitrd

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Version: 2.6.8-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi all,

here is the report:
root@tass:~ ->dpkg --configure -a
Setting up kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 (2.6.8-1) ...
Unknown DM device 254:0
Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9
Errors were encountered while processing:
 kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686

The package is uninstallable that's why I put this severity.
