Package: linux-base
Version: 4.16
Hi,
I run debian/testing but for some reason it installed linux-base for sid. I
normally install my own kernel with `make modules_install && make install`.
But that latter command is broken for me with message:
# make install
INSTALL /boot
run-parts: executing /usr/share/kernel/postinst.d/00-legacy-boot 7.1.9
/boot/vmlinuz-7.1.9
/usr/share/kernel/postinst.d/00-legacy-boot: 8: DEB_MAINT_PARAMS: parameter
not set
run-parts: /usr/share/kernel/postinst.d/00-legacy-boot exited with return
code 2
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:319: install] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
I also failed to downgrade to 4.15 using `apt-get install linux-base=4.15`,
which may explain I got 4.16. So I downloaded it from
https://packages.debian.org/ and that at least restored the situation for
me.
The system in question is UEFI boot, in case that matters.
Best regards,
Koos Vriezen
