Should be:

sudo update-initramfs -u (or -c -k to create a new one). See man
update-initramfs.

EXAMPLES
       Update the initramfs of the newest kernel:

       update-initramfs -u

       Create the initramfs for a specific kernel:

       update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.18-1-686

So in your case:

sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.22-14-generic
