Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-3.2
Severity: important

Hello.

I was using linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem and linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common,
with nvidia and virtualbox kernel modules, and also linux-image-2.6.32-5-686
installed.

While aptitude upgraded linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 to linux-image-2.6.38-1-686,
it:

1) didn't upgrade linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem to linux-
image-2.6.38-1-686-bigmem, meaning my system couldn't use all available
physical memory (grub would select the latest kernel, so the one without bigmem
support)

2) didn't install linux-headers-2.6.38-1-common thus dkms failed to install the
kernel modules, resulting after reboot with X not starting - installing
manually this package made dkms correctly build the modules



Regards


Nicolas

I received several bounces because the original submitter is not
reachable, so closing the bug report now.


Cheers.
