Sorry, I didn't say that very well. I have dpkg-reconfigure installed, it
complained that linux-image-2.6.16-2-powerpc wasn't installed.

I have no idea where the failure is... its obviously not in that
particular script. The only thing I see of (minute) interest is "Ok,
Aborting". Here is the complete log of running 'aptitude install
linux-image-2.6.16-2-powerpc' with the extra set -x you mentioned before.
