Public bug reported: Apologies if this is the wrong component. I am writing about the "reinstall" process that the Ubuntu installer provides as an installation option.
This option worked great, however it left a number of old kernels in /boot. It did remove the kernel modules from /lib/modules, but the kernels themselves still hung around. This caused a problem on my next boot when one of these old kernels was booted by default (I had been debugging a mainline kernel) and I had no mouse support because there were no modules. If the reinstall procedure is going to delete modules from /lib/modules, it needs to delete the images from /boot as well. ** Affects: debian-installer-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311863 Title: Reinstall procedure does not delete old kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer-utils/+bug/1311863/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
