Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic

The linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic package doesn't contain a initrd.img.

Download at: http://librarian.launchpad.net/7332812/linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic_2.6.20-15.27_i386.deb
I checked the files it will install with gdebi, and notice there should exist "initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic" on /boot :

boot/
boot/config-2.6.20-15-generic
boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic
boot/abi-2.6.20-15-generic
boot/System.map-2.6.20-15-generic
usr/
usr/share/
[...]

Ok, some knowledgable people in #ubuntu told me that initrd.img is regenerated at the installation of a package, and not included in it (makes sense since it will link to modules, etc).

Changed in linux-source-2.6.20:
