I am working with a fresh install of Debian and following the instructions online. I went through instructions 1 through 17 but I can't reboot because I it couldn't make the initrd file. I don't know if there is something more I need to do or if it is something broken. I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. Here is the output I'm geting when trying to install the kernel for a second time. (meaning I installed got the errors, then ran the command again to capture the output.) Reading package lists...

Hi, working with a fresh install (amd64), i'm incurring in the same problem previously reported for i686: while installing linux-image-2.6.12-ssi-amd64_1.9.6-13_amd64.deb it happens: Running depmod. Finding valid ramdisk creators. Using /usr/sbin/mkinitrd to build the ramdisk. cpio: initrd/lib/libcluster.so.0 not created: newer or same age version exists cpio: initrd/lib/libc.so.6 not created: newer or same age version exists Not a HASH reference at /sbin/mkboottab line 46. Error generating boottab. Try again run-parts: /etc/mkinitrd/scripts/tabonly-install exited with return code 1 /usr/sbin/mkinitrd failed to create initrd image. Failed to create initrd image. ... and so on. What to do? Thank you, have a nice day!

You should probably start from scratch to make sure you're in a known state. The mysterious "udev not updated" problem seems to have come back, so when you install OpenSSI be extra careful about checking whether the right udev has been installed. When the initial ramdisk is made there are a few horrible messages, but they're not important: Selecting previously deselected package linux-image-2.6.14-ssi-686-smp.
