2008-10-23 19:42:24 Evan ubiquity: statusexplanation João, I cannot reproduce this with a standard install (/ ext3 and swap). Can you reply with the output of `parted /dev/sda print all` and your /etc/fstab? Thanks

The result is the same, a mixed old kernel with new modules.

2008-10-29 14:08:56 Colin Watson ubiquity: statusexplanation I have repeated this procedure in my laptop. The result is the same, a mixed old kernel with new modules. This is due to: # If no kernel was copied, try some possible locations for the # kernel we used to boot. This saves a couple of megabytes of CD # space. bootdir = os.path.join(self.target, 'boot') re_image = re.compile('vmlinu[xz]-') for entry in os.listdir(bootdir): match = re_image.match(entry) if match is not None: break else: kernel = self.find_cd_kernel() if kernel: prefix = os.path.basename(kernel).split('-', 1)[0] release = os.uname()[2] target_kernel = os.path.join(bootdir, '%s-%s' % (prefix, release)) self.copy_file(kernel, target_kernel, md5_check) In this case /target/boot contains a kernel and so we think that it was copied from the livefs and don't copy another one!
