I also followed the thread you knidly linked to and sure enough, initramfs was set to 'required' and not 'always'. Since I have not changed this setting (didn't even know it was there), what could have caused this?

I'll try the upgrades later today and report back if I find an issue.

1) RPi has to shutdown/reboot gracefully, because setting will be written when system shuts down.
2) before doing this, make sure that file /etc/default/xbian-initramfs is correct. It should look like this

Code:

MAKEBACKUP=yes

FORCEINITRAM=yes

LVM=no

Why is FORCEINITRAM set to yes?
Answer: if set to no (== required in xbian-config GUI), initramfs is only enabled if a reboot is required (usually when updates were installed), or kernel cmdline (see /boot/cmdline.txt) has bootmenu or rescue as additional parameter.

So, if you just reboot system, initramfs usually remains disabled if FORCEINITRAM is not set to yes
