Hi, I also am using UNE 10.04 on a SD-Card, in a Dell Mini 10v (Inspiron), with a Broadcom 4312 Wifi chipset, and got the same issue, after various upgrades, installations and uninstalling some programs. As most Dell Mini 10v user, I couldn't connect to Wifi networks, and I finally had decided to uninstall Network Manager, and replace it with Wicd. The Wicd installation having failed in uninstall all the components (or dependencies, I don't know, I'm a complete newbie), I uinistalled completely Network Manager (through Synaptic "complete uninstall"). At first it seemed to work, but finally ceased to. I then decided to do a U turn and get back to network manager, and got the same messages I read above. So clearly there's an issue about USB live installs, UNE, and maybe Broadcom chipsets...

Savvas, there was no particular reason to change or recreate initrd.gz - I don't remember exactly, but I suppose the file or link was missing, too. So there was some reason, but that didn't fix it. I forgot to mention here, that there is some kind of error in reasoning when updating a kernel of a live system: the live system is mounted read-only and updates to the kernel don't update the kernel in the live image. One cannot expect that updates would also change the read-only image... I reached a point where I can update the kernel without getting errors on the next reboot: there is some script (if I remember right it was 'update-initramfs') which is a bit modified on live images compared to real installations. I made changes to that script according to the real one so that executing the script wouldn't break my installation anymore. For me, there's one decision to be made and to be tested: option 1: complete install of ubuntu on a usb? option 2: installing a live image on a usb and make the image somehow writable? -- update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) / cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557023 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

I also encountered this problem on a liveUsb installation, while trying to install bcmwl-kernel-source. As a workaround (slightly different from Gary M's), I just corrected the /vmlinuz symbolic link to point to /cdrom/casper/vmlinuz.

Occurs for me doing the many updates from lucid beta 2 UNE "live USB with persistent storage". This prevented the linux-generic update completing properly. IIRC, I had the same error with karmic UNR on its first kernel update. /vmlinuz was a broken link to boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19-generic which did not exist. /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-20-generic did exist, and all other files in /boot were pairs for versions 2.6.32.19 and 2.6.32.30. The squashfs in /cdrom/casper/ has the same broken /vmlinuz link. Also, /cdrom/casper/ contains a real vmlinuz file, probably version 2.6.32.19. Workaround was to copy /cdrom/casper/vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19-generic. After reinstalling initramfs-tools, /vmlinuz was a link to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-20-generic as expected. -- update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) / cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557023 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
