Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2 Severity: important
While upgrading the kernel, the process seems to hang when running lilo. Screen output: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting up linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2) ... Hmm. The package shipped with a symbolic link /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-amd64/source However, I can not read the target: No such file or directory Therefore, I am deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-amd64/source Running depmod. Finding valid ramdisk creators. Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk. Not updating initrd symbolic links since we are being updated/reinstalled (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1 was configured last, according to dpkg) Not updating image symbolic links since we are being updated/reinstalled (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1 was configured last, according to dpkg) You already have a LILO configuration in /etc/lilo.conf Running boot loader as requested Testing lilo.conf ... Testing successful. Installing the partition boot sector... Running /sbin/lilo ... ---------------------------------------------------------------- I have investigated this by running lilo manually, and this is the output: ------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: disk "/dev/sde" (8,64) 0840 LILO wants to assign a new Volume ID to this disk drive. However, changing the Volume ID of a Windows NT, 2000, or XP boot disk is a fatal Windows error. This caution does not apply to Windows 95 or 98, or to NT data disks. Is the above disk an NT boot disk? [Y/n]n -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So apparently the upgrade doesn't catch lilo asking questions interactively, and waits forever as a result. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
