Hi,
There's been another kernel upgrade & the upgrade process has broken
again.
I'll post all the messages, but in a nutshell the upgrade advised that
/usr/sbin/update-initramfs could not be found.
Apt-file advised that the file belongs to the initramfs-tools package.
apt-get install initramfs-tools advised the package was already the
latest version.
I then did :-
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all initramfs-tools to remove the
broken package
sudo apt-get install initramfs-tools to
re-install the package
to which I received the messages :-
W: kernel 2.6.24-27-generic too old for initramfs on i386
W: not generating requested initramfs for kernel 2.6.24-27-generic
Which as always been the problem.....
Below is the complete message list... I hope someone can help, this is
driving me nuts. Not to mention delaying me upgrading until I
absolutely have too.
Thanks :)
