Comment 29 for bug 36014

Hello,

Well, my system is configured for Dapper. I'm afraid changing my apt sources to Edgy will break a lot.

So, I manually downloaded "linux-image-2.6.17-5-386_2.6.17-5.16_i386.deb" from packages.ubuntu.com. I tried to install it, but it complained I needed module-init-tools => 3.2.2-3ubuntu2.

I went back to packages.ubuntu.com, and the only Edgy version there was "module-init-tools_3.2.2-1ubuntu7_i386.deb". I installed it anyway.

I then installed the kernel, my dpkg complained about module-init-tools, but the new kernel is installed, albeit with no initrd or /lib/modules/.

I downloaded and installed "linux-source-2.6.17_2.6.17-5.16_all.deb". Copied config-2.6.17-5-386 to /usr/src/linux/.config. Ran "make" and "make modules_install", then tried to use yaird to create an initrd. Unfortunately, it it fails with "can't open kernel config file" even though the file is there and readable.

I'm not sure if all my installing, uninstalling, and reinstalling kernels messed something up.

Thanks,
Ken Gallo
