Title:
  Can't create initramfs for module-less kernel

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  I want to create an initramfs for a kernel without modules (actually
  without module support) on Gutsy (using initramfs-tool 0.85eubuntu20).

  update-initramfs fails because mkinitramfs-kpkg can't handle the
  missing /lib/modules/<kernel-version> directory.

  If I create an empty /lib/modules/<kernel-version> dir, everything
  works fine. That means, I get a working initramfs without any modules.

  (The reason for creating an initramfs for a module-less kernel is that
  my / is on LVM2.  The volume needs to get activated by the initramfs.)
