Kristen... I got the same behavior. it seemed to be because I had *two* kernel versions installed, 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.27-11.
the 2.6.27-11 version had been installed (badly) before I fixed the mkinitramfs program, so the symbolic link to it from /initrd.img was broken - this seems to prevent other kernels installing properly. I fixed it by running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux- image-2.6.27-11-generic' (note the '11'), which built the correct files, and fixed the link. after that, apt-get dist-upgrade succeeded in correctly installing the '7' kernel. -- MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292159 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
