This is all related to having a nonstandard menu.lst file. I, for instance, have a windows dual boot and I don't want it to just overwrite my menu.lst every time the kernel updates. If you choose anything other than the overwrite option, it will crash. The fix at this point is not to reinstall the linux-image-generic or whatever you are talking about. Just edit the menu.lst manually or using the kgrubeditor to point grub to the new kernel. It works and only takes a minute.
so if your menu.lst looks like this: title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic uuid 646f9a39-6f9a-4f2d-869b-db862964c360 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=646f9a39-6f9a-4f2d-869b-db862964c360 ro quiet splash usbserial.vendor=0x1c9e usbserial.product=0x6061 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic quiet just change all the 11s to 13s (or make a copy above it with all the 11s into 13s.) title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-13-generic uuid 646f9a39-6f9a-4f2d-869b-db862964c360 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic root=UUID=646f9a39-6f9a-4f2d-869b-db862964c360 ro quiet splash usbserial.vendor=0x1c9e usbserial.product=0x6061 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-13-generic quiet ## Don't just copy and paste this or you will probably break your system JUST CHANGE THE 11s TO 13s. -- package linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic 2.6.28-13.44 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388923 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
