--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-base Version: 3.5 Severity: minor I did the following: - basic squeeze install, choose no bootloader, - manually do an extlinux install in /boot (extlinux package is NOT installed) - set link_in_boot=yes in kernel-img.conf Those are about the only things I did. Then I tried to upgrade from squeeze to wheezy and got Not a directory at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-base.postinst line 1177. ...without further helpful output. That line is part of a generic function, so I straced dpkg --configure -a and found 4875 open("/boot/extlinux/options.cfg", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) I have not investigated further but I guess this is because linux-base is finding /boot/ldlinux.sys and assuming it was configured in the way update-extlinux does it. FWIW even when I do install extlinux via apt, I typically have a static /boot/syslinux.cfg and I disable update-extlinux so it doesn't run. If you aren't interested in supporting odd extlinux setups, that's OK with me, but I would appreciate a less obscure error message. Here is what my system looks like: root@debian:~# cat /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes do_bootloader = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = yes root@debian:~# find /boot -ls 344065 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 15 17:06 /boot 344067 108 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 106172 Sep 24 00:08 /boot/config-2.6.32-5-amd64 344068 1632 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1666397 Sep 24 00:08 /boot/System.map-2.6.32-5-amd64 344069 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 15 15:45 /boot/vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 344071 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jan 15 15:45 /boot/initrd.img -> initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 344072 60 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55176 Jan 15 15:45 /boot/extlinux 344066 2372 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2423968 Sep 23 23:59 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 344080 8700 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8891560 Jan 15 17:06 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 344073 60 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56164 Jan 15 15:46 /boot/menu.c32 344074 32 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 32256 Jan 15 15:46 /boot/ldlinux.sys 344076 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 457 Jan 15 15:54 /boot/syslinux.cfg 344070 2060 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2101443 Dec 20 01:19 /boot/System.map-3.2.0-4-amd64 344075 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 445 Jan 15 15:54 /boot/syslinux.cfg~ 344078 132 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128903 Dec 20 01:19 /boot/config-3.2.0-4-amd64 344079 2768 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2829472 Dec 20 01:16 /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 root@debian:~# cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 8 0 8388608 sda root@debian:~# cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 none /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 none /dev devtmpfs rw,relatime,size=508624k,nr_inodes=127156,mode=755 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0 /dev/disk/by-label/root / ext2 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0 tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime 0 0 /dev/disk/by-label/root /run ext2 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/disk/by-label/root /run/lock ext2 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0 tmpfs /run/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime 0 0
