Marco eventually I could download this kernel and make a try : it did boot but got stuck in the middle of the process with no clear error message but I had a fair idea about what was wrong from a fresh installation of Feisty from CD in parallele to this upgraded one ; I edited fstab and commented all hda* and hdb* partitions out (I recall that I use the following partitions sda1, sda2 and sda3 on this upgraded one) ; then I tried to boot again and this time I finally got through and could access my graphical session successfully.
Then I checked the content of /dev directory and oh surprise there are NO hda* or hdb* files ; what is funny is that on the Feisty distro mounted from CD in parallel on the following partitions : - hda1 (/) - hda2 (/home) - hda3(/usr/local) I have the same problem I mean after the boot there are NO hda* or hdb* files present ! ; I think here we have a major issue with UDEV and possible on ide HD. Keep me posted because I will not make any further tests until I hear from you. -- [apport] package linux-image-2.6.20-14-generic failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105729 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
