I forgot to provide the output of installing a kernel-image package, Setting up kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp (2.6.8-3) ... cp: cannot stat `/usr/lib/e2initrd_helper': No such file or directory ldd: /usr/lib/e2initrd_helper: No such file or directory Not touching initrd symlinks since we are being reinstalled (2.6.8-3) Not updating image symbolic links since we are being updated (2.6.8-3) Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub . Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst . Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-686-smp Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-1-686-smp Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done Also I installed version 1.35-6 of e2fslibs/e2fsprogs and the problem doesn't occur. So it was introduced in 1.35-7. Thanks, -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED]
