Yeah, those particular errors don't matter. I guess later today, I'll try reinstalling the debian-8-template from the yum repository and try to build the kernel again from scratch, just to make sure. What I've been doing with every Qubes machine of mine is installing the templates from the DVD or the repository, updating it, and then immediately cloning it and working off of the clone. That way, all of my original template rpms are still pristine. However, I don't think there's any difference between what's on the 3.2 iso and what's the latest debian 8 template from the repository so I don't know if that'll do much in my testing; I think they're the same version? I'm sure a dev will chime in if that's not the case. Your problem is very strange, especially if coldkernel had already worked before. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
