Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-generic

I just installed the latest Hardy alpha updates (March 2, 2008) and rebooted. The updates included linux-image-2.6.24-11-generic, but unlike other times when I upgraded, linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-11-generic was not installed. I don't know how this is normally done, but it should be noted that in this case the upgrade is distinctly less than smooth.

(To make things difficult, this caused me to lose internet connectivity on reboot, because I needed iwl3945. Going back to a previous kernel reduced me to 800x600, since I use the binary nvidia drivers, and those are only available for the up-to-date kernel. Nice! :-) )

Closing this bug with Won't fix as this kernel is no longer supported.
Please feel free to open a new bug report if you're still experiencing this on a newer release (Bionic 18.04.3 / Disco 19.04)
Thanks!
