Initramfs-tools corrupt after installation of usplash-ubuntu-theme.

Right.

After upgrading to edgy a month ago, I decided I missed the splash screen enough to look online for a fix. Someone pointed my in the direction of 'apt-get intall usplash ubuntu theme', or something very close.

After installation of the package, it started regenerating the initramfs. I left it for about an hour, and it hang with a lot of errors.

I got messages like:

generating initramfs: /boot/initramfs[version].img LVM Error: cannot fork 28
cpio: cant find file or directory: /lib/evms/mb*

(These are just how I rememer them, If you want I can get the real message, I have a deadline to meet, so it wont be today.)

After a small list of cpio errors I created some symlinks to the files it was asking for, which I found in /lib/evms/2.5.5/
After doing this I noticed the numbers following the errors where no longer random, they were in sequence.

I cannot understand what happened. I can only asume that I have some missing header files or something. I have not found this anywhere on Google

So for now, I will be using the old kernel, but this is far from ideal as my package manager is now broken because it wants to finish running the usplash scripts, but cant because it never finishes regenerating the initramfs.
