Oh sorry that I didn't make it clear. 2.6.26-1-amd64-rc1-git1 should be BELOW 2.6.26-1-amd64. When there are 2 ~ then it does work in that case. If there's only one then it does NOT work in that case. See here with 1 (i.e. from Robert's regexp the greedy /g removed) ~rc1-git1 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64-rc1-git1 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64 Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-amd64 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64-rc1 Here with the greedy regexp. i.e ~rc1~git1 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64 Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-amd64 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64-rc1 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64-rc1-git1 I try to say it in other words: The dash AFTER the ~ seems to reset the `~ means lower then empty string' ~rc1-git1 is treated NEWER then the one with the empty string. It doestn't matter (at least for the lenny release) if this is a bug or if that is intendet, we have to find a solution for this problem. > > Heh.
