Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Mkinitramfs wants minimum 2.6.19 kernel!

do a bash -x of mkinitramfs, and alter the latest file it greps form to be 2.6.18, it just works after that

Perhaps switch to a distro not written by thirteen-year olds... I am
pretty disgusted at the level of 'integration' between many modern
distros and the Linux kernel. It used to be you could just drop in
whatever kernel you liked, but these days your system may not even boot
if you don't have a bleeding-edge kernel.

In other words, I would report this bug to Ubuntu or whoever wrote the
script.

Regards,
Jacob
