Output from re-installation, which is similar to error when
upgrading from 2.6.14-2-686:
apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.15-1-686

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The kernel is "installed", though not fully configured, and it boots.
I haven't investigated if the post-install-configuration failure
has caused other problems.
Best regards
