Hi Shri,

I glanced through some of the attached log files and saw the following (from VarLogDistupgradeApttermlog.gz) :

Setting up linux-image-2.6.27-2-generic (2.6.27-2.3) ...

Internal Error: Could not find image (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-2-generic)

dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.27-2-generic (--configure):

 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Just curious what happens if you try to do something like:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.27-2-generic

Hi Shri,

Sorry for the extremely delayed response. Is this still an issue with the most recent 2.6.27-6 kernel? Thanks.
