Try purging the package, downgrading to the -2 package, and then upgrading to -4, and tell me what happened to the symlink then, ideally you could also use script to send me a full log of what happened. just type script /tmp/powerpc.log before and exit afterward, and send me the /tmp/powerpc.log file. > It left my old link as it was and I made the changes by hand. > > and I've also found this in /boot/ for the first time: > > vmlinux.coff-2.4.20-powerpc > > What is it? Pre-yaboot stuff needed coff kernels. coff is i think the executable format of older macs or something such, i don't really know, but will investigate. > Anyway, thanks for correcting the problem so quickly. No problem, i created the mess for others, so i should fix it. Friendly, Sven Luther
