Hi MV,

Is this still an issue for you? I see the following in your DpkgTerminalLog file:

frontend: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
User postinst hook script [/sbin/update-grub] exited with value 1
/usr/share/debconf/confmodule: line 42: printf: write error: Broken pipe

Hello,
I think that something continues to be wrong.
Unfortunately I'm not a linux expert but I'm willing to help.

The bug that you received was created automatically by a crash during the installation of the new kernel package.
After sending the bug, after a restart I was again prompted by the package manager to install the kernel.
Apparently everything run fine this time, but for some unknown reason the boot grub entry still points to the previous 2.6.27-11 kernel version.
Only after receiving your email I observed that.
I've tried several times to run grub-update, everything seems to run fine, but after a restart I have still only the 11 version.
Here is the log file of grub-update :

mv@mv-laptop:~$ sudo update-grub

I've also attached my menu.lst file.
Please tell me if I can give you more info on the topic,
Thanks,
Regards
MV
