Known problem, there are already 2 bug reports about this, and only a rebuild of the kernel image with the fixed kernel-package is needed. This is scheduled on friday/saturday, and there are already snapshot packages at : deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel {sid,trunk} main In the meantime, edit the postinst, remove the two die lines at line 393/394, run dpkg-reconfigure or dpkg -a --configure, and make sure the old link in /boot is not broken. (in particular the initrd.img.old link is broken then). Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
