aptitude flashing the wrong kernel on NSLU2
Hi
First of all i have to say thanks to all that sent me solutions how to solve my issues it has been very helpful for me being a Debian novice and all.
I have run into an interesting issue that i wonder if someone could explain how I can avoided it in the future.
When i did my initial Debian installation i got tons of unresolved dependencies after the install so i decided to try to let aptitude correct them and went with the suggested solution it provided.
However i noticed mid upgrade it downloaded and installed amongst other things
linux-image-2.6.18-3-iop32x
Which didn't seem right to me but being new and all i restarted the box and sure enough the NSLU2 hang right after redboot sequence with all lights turned one.
So grabbing for a last straws used the Ugutil and flashed the box with
linux-image-2.6.18-3-ixp4xx
image and thankfully the box started up correctly after that
So my question are how can i avoid these things to happened in the future is there some setting that can ensure that aptitude doesn't downloads non-compatible kernel images
Regards
Mikael
