After running Wheezy's update-initramfs for my old 2.6.39 kernel, it now
refuses to boot (initrd panics with something like "bin/sh : libc6.so
not found").  I still had an older 2.6.38 kernel+initrd lying in my
/boot which I am now using.  In a few days we'll know whether that makes
a difference WRT stability. 

Meanwhile I'm startled and a little frustrated, that Wheezy's initrd
tools seem incompatible with with my 2.6.39 kernel.  Could be something
about the multiarch stuff that came with Wheezy (initrd's libc nowadays
resides in /lib/mipsel-linux-gnu/loongson2f/), but why should the kernel
version make any difference?

cheers,

David
