+_Description: Boot loader configuration must be updated to load initramfs
+ This kernel package will build an "initramfs" file
+ (/boot/initrd.img-@abiname@) for the system's boot loader to use in
+ addition to the kernel itself. This method, formerly unsupported
+ on MIPS, enables a more flexible boot process, and future kernel
+ versions may require a corresponding initrd.img to boot.
+ .
+ The currently running kernel was booted without an initramfs. You
+ should reconfigure the boot loader to load the initramfs for Linux
+ version @abiname@, and for each later version. This is probably
+ most easily accomplished by using the initrd.img symbolic link
+ maintained by the kernel package.
