Public bug reported:
Trying to make a dist-upgrade renders me troubles (log below!)
acpi can not create /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate because
/sys/module/processor/parameters is none existant (as shown below).
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys/module/processor# ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 0 2008-04-25 17:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 128 root root 0 2008-04-25 17:31 ..

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2008-04-25 17:31 srcversion
and trying to fool the scripts by issueing mkdir renders "cannot create
directory `parameters': No such file or directory".
I've been running Hardy repos for a while so it's not a clean dist-upgrade from
gutsy but more or less so.
my base version is kubuntu but that was back in feisty or so, shouldn't matter
for this.
