Small tight /boot's needs breathing room, so do one kernel at a time. ..I have 2 Sid boxes with 2.6.18 kernels, a 2cpu PIII and the k6-2. On both, the 2.6.18-1's all works ok and the 2.6.18-2's all fails: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/src/build/SimGear# dpkg -l |grep linux-image-2.6.18 ii linux-image-2.6.18-1-686 2.6.18-3 Linux 2.6.18 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 ii linux-image-2.6.18-1-686-bigmem 2.6.18-3 Linux 2.6.18 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 iF linux-image-2.6.18-2-686 2.6.18-5 Linux 2.6.18 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 iF linux-image-2.6.18-2-686-bigmem 2.6.18-5 Linux 2.6.18 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/src/build/SimGear# a45:/var/www/Paven/driveby# dpkg -l |grep linux-image-2.6.18 ii linux-image-2.6.18-1-486 2.6.18-3 Linux 2.6.18 image on x86 iF linux-image-2.6.18-2-486 2.6.18-5 Linux 2.6.18 image on x86 a45:/var/www/Paven/driveby# ..aptitude upgrade output attached for both boxes: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp $ ll *-2.6.18-2-bug && md5sum *-2.6.18-2-bug -rw-r--r-- 1 arnt arnt 3358 2006-11-13 01:29 2p3-2.6.18-2-bug -rw-r--r-- 1 arnt arnt 2230 2006-11-13 01:38 a45-2.6.18-2-bug fd32614716c14802ddef0628a33f2867 2p3-2.6.18-2-bug 59632136a691707d3e2ff36b84b3bc05 a45-2.6.18-2-bug [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp $ > As it stands, there is nothing I can do about this report, > since I have no idea where the problem might lie. ..both mention "Could not find postinst hook script [flash-kernel].", so I felt reasonably sure my diffs would point you in the right direction, are you sure no-one else has reported similar bugs? -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
