Usually there are lines above 'dpkg: error processing' that show the actual error encountered.I tryed the standard "kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp" version and it installed correctly...It might be a bug in this kernel package, but without the complete output, it's hard to be sure. Please post the entire output of apt-get. Adam
