initrd.img not found #115

Closed rnhurt closed 5 years ago

rnhurt commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug Installing new kernels on my system no longer works properly. Each install seems to work properly until it tries to install the new initrd.img file, which errors out with ERROR: Can't find the initrd image! I've used ukuu for installing the whole 4.18 series but it stopped working after installing 4.19.0. I've tried installing 4.19.1 --> 4.19.5 and they all exhibit the same behavior.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run ukuu
  2. Select a new kernel version (4.19.1)
  3. Install the kernel
  4. Notice that the process seems to work properly until kernelstub tries to install the new initrd.img

Expected behavior I would expect it to download and link the proper initrd.img file.

So, it looks like this was not an error with ukuu but instead was a problem with my system. I installed initramfs-tools (sudo apt install initramfs-tools) and that seemed to fix the problem. I have no idea how that got uninstalled or how ukuu worked before. :(
