Hello. I have been using the 2.6.18-4-powerpc kernel on my system for a while now because, when the 2.6.21 kernel came out, it introduced a few bugs that significantly diminished the performance of the system. I wanted to see if the newer 2.6.21 still has this problem of if it has been repaired.
I opened aptitude and installed linux-image-2.6-powerpc, which also installed linux-image-2.6.21-2-powerpc. The packages were apparently installed successfully, but when I rebooted, it booted into the old kernel. I looked at the /boot directory, and none of the links had changed. Here's the output from when I reconfigured the kernel packages: Running depmod. Finding valid ramdisk creators. Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk. Not updating initrd symbolic links since we are being updated/reinstalled (2.6.21-6 was configured last, according to dpkg) Not updating image symbolic links since we are being updated/reinstalled (2.6.21-6 was configured last, according to dpkg) Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d. run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/mkvmlinuz Why is it not updating the links - I had a version of 2.6.21, but I removed it a long time ago. Is there a way to get dpkg to realize that it does need to modify the symbolic links? Thank you for any help, Sean -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
