Are you running a 2.2 kernel? > Any solutions? Please keep the subject line the same, I will summarize > twice daily. The solution currently is to run a 2.2 kernel (except on sun4m which requires >= 2.2.7). The preinst checks for the correct kernel version and fails otherwise. We are still trying to find a way to get this to work with kernel 2.2 without regard to the sun4m problem.
