Error when installing linux-image-2.6.15-27

[Khriz]

Hi,

When I run Adept to update the packages it always gives me an error when installing the linux-image-2.6.15-27 package. Then grub shows that image but when I try to boot it, it gives me a kernel panic.

Can anybody help me?

forgive my asking...
installing an old image?

anyway, try apt-get's -f (fix-broken) option:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install

see if you get any useful hints there...

Adept doesn't install any more linux image, do you know how I can upgrade the linux image.

I did what you told me and the image has been removed, but no more image has been installed.

Thanks,
Khriz

Re: Error when installing linux-image-2.6.15-27

ok
now
open up adept
type "linux-image" in the search box
images are in the main section of the repos
you should have those enabled
so you should find the newest images
you should see a bunch
some have a version number
some don't
now
if you always want to keep you kernel up to date
select the linux-image-generic and install it
the latest kernel will always depend on this package
installing this package will automagically update your grub menu
you'll be allright 8)

Thanks a lot for your help, I installed kernel 2.6.15-27 without problems.

But gcorti said it was an old image, but Adept doesn't show any newer image, is this a problem?

Thanks a lot
