I found out another detail: update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.24-19-server will work without an error message; it is update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.15-52-server that will fail with the udev hook script message. So the udev message is just misleading about which kernel it is talking about (kernel being updated instead of running kernel).
So I suggest changing the message udev hook script requires at least kernel version 2.6.17 to udev hook script cannot process kernels before version 2.6.17 What remains to be checked is whether the boot machinery is in a usable state in the current situation. If yes, the error can be downgraded to a warning, and a message as in The kernel was not changed and should still be usable could be issued. If no, the message should be The kernel is not bootable anymore. However, a new kernel is being installed and *should* be bootable. You can uninstall the old kernel(s). -- update-manager fails - requires at least kernel version 2.6.17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
