Bug Description
Hi,
I upgraded my Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 on a PowerBook 17" and lost the use of my 5in1 adapter pcmcia card reader.
After searching on the web I find that it could be due to the kernel version, I then looked at /boot and discover that vmlinux and initrd.img were symbolic links to kernel 2.6.15-23-powerpc files although according to the package list the most recent kernel is vmlinux-
I thus changed by hand those links to the most recent kernel and get my adapter working again. Ouf!
Is it expected that these symbolic links are not upgraded during the change from 7.04 to 7.10 on PowerPC?
Regards,
LP
