[Bug 502417] Re: initramfs pointing to wrong kernel version
Set status based on reporter's last comment. I agree that it looks like the cause was an over-populated boot partition. ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- initramfs pointing to wrong kernel version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502417 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Found a solution. I dropped into recovery mode, dropped into root, and did : touch /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-12-generic mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.17-12-generic and then ran dpkg --configure -a and it all cleared up. Part of the problem may have been that my /boot partition had gotten very full over the years. -- initramfs pointing to wrong kernel version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502417 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
