Yeah, link_in_boot should be yes for your purposed. Perhaps something else changed it on your system without your knowledge, but nothing in dapper should have done that. |

Matt: link_in_boot defaults to no on i386, so I'm not sure where you got your result from ...
Brian: In installs from the alternate install CD, the initial /etc/kernel-img.conf is written by the base-installer component of the installer; it won't be owned by any package, as you observe.
However, I've just checked and it seems that the live filesystem build script does not match the behaviour of base-installer; they default link_in_boot to no regardless of the architecture. Either ubiquity should fix this up, or the live filesystem build script should be fixed. |

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-powerpc
The Linux kernel upgrades for dapper quietly fail because they update the initrd.img and vmlinux symlinks in /, but not the ones in /boot which yaboot uses. The result is that after reboot I'm still using the old (vulnerable) kernel.
This copy of dapper was a fresh install just after dapper came out, and /etc/yaboot.conf hasn't been altered by hand - it always referred to /boot/initrd.img and /boot/vmlinux (and .old symlinks, which don't exist). |
