Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
>From DpkgTerminalLog.txt:
| Setting up linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (2.6.27-7.16) ...
| Running depmod.
| update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD
| Failed to symbolic-link /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic to initrd.img.
| dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (--configure):
| subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 17
That suggests your flash drive is setup to be a live system. Do you really want
that?
I guess that causes in /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf to be set to
"no" (please verify that).
If that's true, it is a bug in the kernel package's postinst script: If
creating an initrd.img is disabled creating a symlink to it should be
disabled, too.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
