Bug#390811: kernel upgrading problems 2.4.27.3&4-k6
Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-3-k6
Version: 2.4.27-10sa
Comment:
Sorry to bother you folks. Wish I could give more financial support
there also. You are the only folk really supporting these older
machines any more. Possibly should have had Synaptic set to give me only
the stable versions. I have most other machine set that way, I believe.
I wish I could simple copy and paste from the terminal buffer:
THE MEAT:
the error message is as follows:

==============
Apparently relavent details:
'/boot' is actually md3; and is the bootable partitions. There are
modification made in it. (I seem to have lost the Red Hat 9 startup
menu this last time. I can probably dig it up again if I'm lucky, as
that installion has its own boot partition.)
Sincerely,
Gregory D. MELLOTT
