Kernel Update in Feisty
threethirty
I was just wondering if anyone was having trouble with the latest
kernal update in feisty ( 2.6.20-16) I have ubuntu and debian running
on all of my systems and had varying results:
On my Laptop: I had to reboot twice before it worked
On my girlfriends box: it worked without a hitch (lucky
mumbleneverhadproblemswithupdatesmumble)
on my debian (etch) samba file dump: didn't even have to reboot
on my desktop: all hell breaks loose
-ok here is what happens, When I try to run the update app I get this
error:
E:dpkg was interupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to
correct the problem.
E:_cache->open() failed, please report.
then I open the terminal and run the above mentioned command and it
seems to work so I ran the app again and it seems to have worked this
time and reboot and...
and I'll be damned if it doesn't work as I going through it to write
this post.
I was having all kinds of 'run fsck without parameters', hit 'y'
through a bunch of crap you don't understand, and pray to whomever may
be listening to save your data and install because a reinstall at 1:44
am is not happening....
well it worked so take that update problems

The Ulrich family ran into this on the new Feisty box they have.
I help them set GRUB to boot the previous kernel as a workaround.
They have an old machine with a 433Mhz processor..I'm not sure what
the specs are.
It sounds like there's a bug somewhere! Have you checked the Ubuntu
bug tracker about this?
