Update /boot/uInitrd automatically after update-initramfsPut the following to /etc/initramfs/post-update.d/99-uInitrd, and chmod +x to make it executable:
1234567 #!/bin/shset -e# $1 = version, $2 = full path to initrd.img-xxxecho "update-initramfs: Converting to /boot/uInitrd" >&2temp="/boot/uInitrd-$1"mkimage -A arm64 -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -n uInitrd -d $2 $temp 1> /dev/nullmv $temp /boot/uInitrd
This is how update-initramfs -u looks like now:
123 # update-initramfs -uupdate-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.20.0update-initramfs: Converting to /boot/uInitrd

I’d like to add, that using this script has to be in another folder
It should be in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks
The enumeration of the version and the output path doesn’t work either, do you have an idea what can be done about that?
The output is:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.102-odroidxu4
update-initramfs: Converting to /boot/uInitrd
Error: Missing output filename
This is likely a difference between distros.
I’d suggest you to check the man page for your version of update-initramfs. It looks like that update-initramfs on your system is providing different arguments to hook script from what’s seen in my distro. Specifically, it either does not provide the second argument, or the one provided is not a valid file name.
