You've got your symlinks messed up. I'm not sure how things got into that state, but they're all messed up. You could fix your symlinks, but since grub doesn't need them, here's what I would do if it were me. Do all this as root. rm /vmlinuz rm /initrd.img rm /vmlinuz.old rm /initrd.img.old Then edit the file /etc/kernel-img.conf and change do_symlinks =3D yes to do_symlinks =3D no File the change. Then issue dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 That should put you back in business. --=20 .''`. Stephen Powell =20 : :' : `. `'` `- Dear Stephen, Deleting the symlinks solved the problem. dpkg-reconfigure did not work, but aptitude safe-upgrade reconfigured the kernel-image.
