crash after kernel update

[lolo974]

Hi there

during last kernel update using kpackage my laptop turned off. At startup I have now kernel 2.17 option but it seems it can't boot up!
I always have to choose 2.16

Is there anyway to erase it and re update ? Kpackage doesn"'t mention any update files yet

regards

Re: crash after kernel update

it look's like the upgrade dident compleat and you have no initrd.img for the new kernel.

post the output of

ls /boot

run in a terminal to see

you can try runing

sudo apt-get -f install

and

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a

IF none of these work....... to get you a new initrd.img then run

sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.18-1-686

replacing the 2.6.18-1-686 with the # of the newest kernel.


or try removing and reinstaling the newest Kernel with Kpackagekit............(I would install synaptic and use that)

Re: crash after kernel update

Did you run the other two command first?

sudo apt-get -f install

and

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a

before you ran

sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.31-17-generic
