Comment 7 for bug 1062699

Hi,
  Hmm well that looks ok, but the output of the update-initramfs has a clue:

# update-initramfs -v -u -k 3.2.0-32-generic
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-32-generic
/dev/disk/by-uuid: Is a directory

Can you rerun that update-initramfs like this (with the original MODULES=dep) setting like this:

/bin/bash -x /usr/sbin/update-initramfs -v -u -k 3.2.0-32-generic

What that should do is spew each line of update-initramfs and each command it executed in detail - the challenge is to find why something is mis-understanding a disk path. My guess is the error is actually coming from mkinitramfs, but the /bin/bash -x should give you the exact line for mkinitramfs to run.
