Problem with linux-image-2.6.15-1-486
I tried upgrading my kernel this morning and ran into some problems. I had
previously been running -2bpo1. The kernel upgrade failed. As a result I'm
leery to reboot as I'm not sure the box will come back up. Below are the
results of the initial aptitude upgrade and a subsequent dpkg configure. Any
ideas?
