I was getting the error mentioned [in this post](https://askubuntu.com/questions/7675/init-premount-script-error) on Ubuntu 10.04. I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 through software update and again I'm getting this error.

```
mount: mounts none on /dev/pts failed: Device

```

Here is the boot log:

```
IP-Config: no response after 4 secs - giving up

/scripts/init-premount/dropbear: line 32: ipconfig: not found

/scripts/init-premount/dropbear: .: line 32: can't open '/tmp/net-*.conf'

```

I had purged dropbear, and it looks like some scripts are still remaining. Is it possible to do a clean re-install of initramfs?

EDIT 1:
`sudo update-initramfs -u` doesn't solve the issue. Also `sudo update-initramfs -c -k all` also doesn't solve the issue.
