Ubuntu wont update initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic

[Ziphlon]

Hello when I updated my distro a little earlier today I got an error message.

Here is the whole text

ziphlon@ziphlon-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[sudo] password for ziphlon:
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu53) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic
dpkg: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
ziphlon@ziphlon-laptop:~$

Is this anything important to worry about? How do I fix it?

I got exactly the same problem:

Anyone knows how to fix this??

I kept looking for help on different webs and on IRC ubuntu's help channel, somebody told me it could be my RAM so i runned memtest86 for 15 hours and everyhting is fine, not a single error on RAM, i hope someone can help with this, ill leave a verbose mode of the initramfs here:

b0w@b0w-laptop:~$ sudo update-initramfs -v -c -k $(uname -r)

Hope anyone can help on this.
Greets!

Fixed it!!
well i dont know if its going to work for you but here is what i did.
First, download Hiren's Boot CD, burn the iso and everything,
Then boot from cd, on the hirens cd menu there are a lot of different apps, i went to hard drive utilities and there it has a lot of HDD recovery tools, i runned 3 different of them and they found different errors on my drive wich they fixed and thats it, the problem its gone now.
i heard it could be also your RAM so run a memtest86 from ubuntu's distro cd and check if thats the problem.
Good Luck!
