I just ran into this bug as well. I got the following choices: │ linux-image-2.6-iop32x │ │ linux-image-3.2.0-2-iop32x │ │ linux-image-iop32x │ │ none │ syslog showed this: Mar 29 15:35:39 base-installer: info: Found kernels 'linux-image-2.6-iop32x,linux-image-3.2.0-2-iop32x,linux-image-iop32x' Mar 29 15:35:39 base-installer: info: arch_kernel candidates: linux-image-3.2-iop32x Mar 29 15:35:39 base-installer: info: arch_kernel: linux-image-3.2-iop32x (absent) The problem is that the kernel rules in base-installer try to install linux-image-$KERNEL_MAJOR-$1 However, with the 3.2, series, linux-latest doesn't generate a linux-image-3.x-foo package. Only linux-image-foo and (for backwards compatibility) linux-image-2.6-foo are created. I therefore suggest to change all linux-image-$KERNEL_MAJOR-$1 to linux-image-$1 in order to get automatic kernel selection working again. Colin, can you ack this change? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
