Being a bit of a fruitcake and a happy testing donkey with virtually no ICT skills, I rarely refuse on any an upgrade. Anyway: 2.6.27-1 was behaving rather stable and was rebootable. Now I have the 2.6.27-2 installed, it is not really unstable, but it refuses to boot somehow. I really don't know why. I could not get virtualbox 1.6.4 sharing capability, after following this set of instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693268#post5693268. Therefore I started toying with upgrading, build-dep, also through backports.org and apt-get -t etch-backports and manually selecting some synaptic packages, including restricted-modules. So now I have the 2.6.27-2 kernel but it won't install properly. If I try sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-headers-2.6.27-2-generic linux-image-2.6.27-2- generic, I get the following output. Afte a while I get the restart prompt in the upper right panel, but the new kernel won't boot. The 2.6.27-1 does not boot anymore either. I have to use the alfa 3 live CD image and select all options under F6 and the 'with driver update CD' option under F4 to boot the recovery version of 2.6.27-1 and run xfix and dpkg repair broken packages. The first time I had this problem, there was one package selected to be removed: gnome-cups-manager. File system check did not reveal any problems. dpkg repair broken packages I doubt that I will have any more luck as root, I tried that, even dpkg-reconfigure -a, but I can't find the problem. Are there any log files I could consult? I mind you that I am not a UNIX literate. I have cups-spooler configured as foo, could that be it? Anyway, the cycle repeats: I boot up with 2.6.27-1, reconfigure, get restart prompt, and the system fails to reboot. normal boot of 2.6.27-2 hangs at first line: starting up recovery mode hangs at: running virtualization kernel, bottom of first screen. reboot does not work ** Affects: debian-installer-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kernel 2.6.27-2 won't boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263036 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
