+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> lurking in the background somewhere, something related to theme updates
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> is messing things up:

+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> =&gt; bork
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> So it seems like some recent change in DrakX which causes it to call
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> make-boot-splash even for /boot/initrd.img...
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Actually... it would be my recentish change/fix in
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> /usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/make-boot-splash-raw in which $foo.img is
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> now replaced with
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> # gzip &gt; $foo.img.tmp
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> # mv -f $foo.img.tmp $foo.img
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> while it previously was a direct
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> # gzip &gt; $foo.img
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I've now added a &quot;readlink -f&quot; in the beginning of the script so that it
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> will operate on the symlink target directly, in bootsplash-3.3.8. Thanks
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> for noticing this.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> No worries.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> As a followup question, do you think it'll end up regenerating some
+</I>&gt;<i> initrd's several times?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> e.g. I have two symlinks, initrd.img and initrd-desktop.img both
+</I>&gt;<i> pointing to the same initrd.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Will this ultimately get regenerated three times, two of which are
+</I>&gt;<i> obviously redundant?
+</I>
+Yes (it has always been like that). Feel free to fix bootloader.pm to
+not do it. Note, however, that you can't simply skip symlinks there as
+the initrd.img symlink may also be the only initrd in bootloader config.
