Fair enough, I can do that much: Unpacking replacement kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp ... Setting up kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp (2.6.8-10) ... [ snip usual warning ] that too much. You need to reboot soon. Please Hit return to continue. Not touching initrd symlinks since we are being reinstalled (2.6.8-10) Not updating image symbolic links since we are being updated (2.6.8-10) Looks fixed to me.
