Hi Holger,

I have got an IDE hard desk, not SATA.
I think it's coming from the initrd missing. I don't understand why there is
an error when launching the command:
mkinitramfs-kpkg -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27.4 2.6.27.4
The error is :
cp: operand of the target file missing after `/tmp/tmp.XXXXmDVe5B/sbin/'

I tried to do 'update-initramfs -u -k all' but still have the same problem:
cp: operand of the target file missing after
`/tmp/tmp.XXXX<something>/sbin/'

The software is using cp for some reason but something is missing and I
don't know what.
I installed mkinitramfs and libbash (needed by mkinitramfs). Did I miss
something?

Best regards,
Eric
