Please attach an archive of the content of /etc/initramfs-tools:

tar zcf initramfs-tools.tar.gz /etc/initramfs-tools

And show us the content of /boot:

ls -alR /boot

Thank you.

Can you edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst and add "set -x" on the second line, and then run "dpkg --configure udev" and then send me the output?

I know that the underlying problem is some code getting confused by the fact that you have two kernels installed but at the same time but I can't figure out what code that is... I was hoping that it would be some initramfs hook but apparently not.

Can you also attach the tarball generated by "tar zcf kernel.tar.gz /etc/kernel" ? Thank you.

udev.error.txt and kernel.tar.gz appear to be attached to this thread.

So I understand your problem better now... the problem is that you do not have any initrd file for linux-image-4.4.0-kali1-amd64. I don't know why and how it happened. Do you have any idea? Was there an error when you installed that package? (You can try to lookup logs in /var/log/apt/*)

The modified update-initramfs in live-tools finds a single initrd file and thus believes that there's a single kernel image installed when in fact you have two.

To fix your issue you can try "apt --reinstall install linux-image-4.4.0-kali1-amd64" or simply "update-initramfs -c -k 4.4.0-kali1-amd64".

Hi, sorry for the late reply. When I tried the first command, "apt --reinstall install linux-image-4.4.0-kali1-amd64" I received the following output:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 420 not upgraded.
16 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-image-4.4.0-kali1-amd64:amd64

When I tried the next command, "update-initramfs -c -k 4.4.0-kali1-amd64", I received the following output:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-kali1-amd64
cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of overlay
cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab
live-boot: core filesystems devices utils udev wget blockdev ftpfs.

I will try the "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" commands when I get back from work!

Talk to you later.

Apt-get upgrade seemed to be fairly successful, although the last error quoted above repeated at the end of the upgrade:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-kali1-amd64
cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of overlay
cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab

Please attach the content of /var/log/apt for inspection.

tar zcf apt.tar.gz /var/log/apt

Your command line returned the following output:

root@kali:~# tar zcf apt.tar.gz /var/log/apt
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names

However, I opened a terminal window in the directory and ran a similar command. I will attach the file to this support thread.

Thanks for the data, unfortunately there's nothing that explains why the initrd was gone missing for linux 4.4. So there's nothing to fix either. Closing the ticket.
