No, I don't. But I'm guessing you do. I'll also guess that changes in the kernel and initramfs compression are what bit you. Use a newer version of refractasnapshot and it should work. (again, a guess because I don't really know what you're trying to do.) There might be more information in /var/log/refractasnapshot.log.

Try these:

I remember this issue early last year, the newer version of snapshot fixed it (10.4.1), in the snapshot gui script itself scroll down to line 395 or so and there's comments explaining it.
