For some reason a recent upgrade of grub2 led to a failed configure. I found other people on Google, mainly ubuntu users,with a similar problem but no obvious solution. I purged grub2 and reinstalled, but the same error appeared. That was why I reverted to legacy grub, which at least allowed grub-mkconfig to work but still the new kernel did not appear at boot. -- Anthony Campbell - a...@acampbell.org.uk http://www.acupuncturecourse.org.uk http://www.smashwords.com/profile.view/acampbell https://itunes.apple.com/ca/artist/anthony-campbell/id73235412 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
