Hi toolbitz,

Examining your DpkgTerminalLog.txt file I notice the following errors:

Failed to run depmod
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This seems to indicate this is actually a duplicate of bug 99547 so I am marking it as such. Bug 99547 should be resolved with an update to module-init-tools and there are comments there for how to recover from this issue. Thanks.
