Hi, I am upgrading an old server to etch to be able to use new sata drives. I followed the release notes.
I first did apt-get upgrade then I did apt-get install initrd-tools then i installed linux-image-2.6.18-686 at this point i got an error from udev. It said that the install of udev failed at the pre install script with error 1. or something like that. I tried apt-get install -f but it did not help. how can i get at the pre install script and see what the error is? I want to avoid just reinstalling etch from scratch if I can. How to go about debugging the error? 1. Make it more verbose and 2. find the script - where is it kept? 3. then edit the preinstall script and fix the problem? also I notice that now the machine will not recognize the ethernet device eth0, which is irritating and probably secondary to the messed up udev. I hate to bring up sarge-> etch issues as they are old hat as I mostly run sid on my workstations. But this is an old server thanks!
