Thread: initramfs errors (1) during dpkg or apt-get upgrade or install

whenever dpkg --configure -a or apt-get upgrade/install, initramfs error:

code:

vubunity@vubunity-r580:/etc/xdg/autostart$ sudo apt-get upgrade reading package lists... done building dependency tree        reading state information... done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 remove , 0 not upgraded. 1 not installed or removed. after operation, 0 b of additional disk space used. want continue [y/n]?  setting initramfs-tools (0.99ubuntu8) ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) processing triggers initramfs-tools ... update-initramfs: generating /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic-pae warning: /proc/partitions references experimental major device 251. fatal: no images have been defined. run-parts: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//runlilo exited return code 1 dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 errors encountered while processing:  initramfs-tools e: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1)

from other forum threads, have tried doing /etc/fstab | grep swap , matching uuid of resume uuid @ /etc/initramfs-tools/config.d
same.
(i have random hibernate errors, of time won't work, , in kubuntu have no shutdown button menus , must use terminal shutdown)

problem happened right after installed ubuntu 11.10 (desktop i386) unity; before installed gnome, kde, (and before lxde,xfce).
install fresh 11.10 install usb (i couldn't bothered upgrading 10.04lts , 1 doesn't past kubuntu loading screen after installed kubuntu-desktop).
computer samsung laptop r580.

here /proc/partitions may help

code:

major minor  #blocks  name   251        0    1990672 zram0    8        0  488386584 sda    8        1   15728640 sda1    8        2     102400 sda2    8        3  322591744 sda3    8        4          1 sda4    8        5   15591797 sda5    8        6    9675776 sda6    8        7   51027968 sda7    8        8    9036792 sda8    8        9   64625664 sda9

i'm more interested in comes though:

code:

 fatal: no images have been defined.

almost else works fine, i'm using kubuntu now.
