This is due to: # If no kernel was copied, try some possible locations for the # kernel we used to boot. This saves a couple of megabytes of CD # space. bootdir = os.path.join(self.target, 'boot') re_image = re.compile('vmlinu[xz]-') for entry in os.listdir(bootdir): match = re_image.match(entry) if match is not None: break else: kernel = self.find_cd_kernel() if kernel: prefix = os.path.basename(kernel).split('-', 1)[0] release = os.uname()[2] target_kernel = os.path.join(bootdir, '%s-%s' % (prefix, release)) self.copy_file(kernel, target_kernel, md5_check)
In this case /target/boot contains a kernel and so we think that it was copied from the livefs and don't copy another one! ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- Kernel and modules missing after reinstallation preserving /home https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287747 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
