Hum... nope, it's not installed: dpkg test@debian:~$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-31 Linux 2.6.32 for modern PCs The question is, shouldn't this have to be done automatically? Yes, I can now manually install the latest kernel (or the meta-package) but I'd have expected the dist-upgrade routine would have managed out by itself... well, as godo said, maybe this has been an exception but is not the rule :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
