Subject: [Bug 320578] Re: Kernel will not update.... ubuntu 8.10

Hi Blade,

Is this still an issue for you? The reason I ask is because the error
indicates an issue installing/updating to linux-image-2.6.27-7, but your
dmesg output shows you're running an even newer 2.6.27-9 kernel.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
