why not use KVM or virtualbox?
Dean
It needs to work immediately, using the existing VMWare virtual machine.
It *is* working in VMWare, so going through the process of converting to
virtualbox is a project for when I get around to it (yes.. it's on my
TODO list). I don't know how hard it is, but I know it needs to be at
least thought about.
Of course, that begs the question [1] what do I do after I install
virtualbox, no longer need VMWare, but still have the custom kernel? Can
I just remove it using dpkg without screwing my system?
thanks....
David.
[1] ... for the pedants.. I know that's incorrect usage of "begs the
question" but it sounds good.

After installing VMWare-Server following this howto:

I now get this every time I do *any* apt-get install:

Failed to process /etc/kernel/postinst.d at

Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-2.6.31.6-custom
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Everything appears to work OK. The custom kernel runs and boots etc.
I've also got an NVIDIA graphics driver installed.. which might be
implicated.
I've had a look at line 1186 referred to above but my hacking skills
are way below requirements. Google hasn't helped so far.
Any suggestions?
thanks.. David.
