Public bug reported:
Hello,
I was testing the Ubuntu Intrepid AMD64 Desktop CD (22 Oct 2008).
The test was done with the Use Case defined on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityPreserveHome, I have selected to keep my
existing / partition, without formatting.
When the system booted after install I found the following:
The grub menu entries were now containing (Ubuntu 8.10), but the kernel was
still pointing to the previous (Hardy) versions.
The system booted, but network, and X (mouse/keyboard) where not working. I
have found that the kernel modules were not available.
On the resulting partition:
grep kernel /mnt/sda2/boot/grub/menu.lst
# kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options

Please note that I need to have a working system so I will not be able
to do further research on this use case.
Thanks
