Re: initramfs-tools problem follows apt-get install mintupdate

For GPT disks use gdisk.

I would run "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" to make
sure that you are pulling in all of the relevant updates.  I would also
make sure that you have enough disk space.  If mint created a /boot
partition, it can get filled up with old kernels.  You may need to run
"sudo apt-get autoremove" to clean these up.  It is also worth running
"sudo update-grub" to make sure that your system is still bootable.
