Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8-smp Version: 2.6.8-8 Severity: normal
After installing the amd64 kernel, I am unable to install any other kernels. I see this: Unpacking kernel-image-2.6-amd64-generic (from .../kernel-image-2.6-amd64-generic_100_i386.deb) ... Setting up kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-generic (2.6.8-8) ... cpio: (0x00000000): No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `(0x00000000)': No such file or directory run-parts: /usr/share/initrd-tools/scripts/e2fsprogs exited with return code 1 Failed to create initrd image. After some amd64 users mailing list postings, I found out that I needed e2fsprogs >= version 1.35-7. At this version, a "grep -v linux-gate.so" line was added in /usr/share/initrd-tools/scripts/e2fsprogs, which is required for initrd to work with 64-bit kernels. Thus, for amd64 kernels, I would propose a version dependency of e2fsprogs >= 1.35-7 to fix this in the future. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-9-amd64-k8-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages kernel-image-2.6.8-9-amd64-k8-smp depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii initrd-tools 0.1.77 tools to create initrd image for p ii module-init-tools 3.1-rel-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
