["J F" <j1234f@excite.com>]

Trying to upgrade to nvidia-kernel with aptitude and got the error:
...
Unpacking nvidia-kernel-source (from .../nvidia-kernel-source_1.0.7174-3_i386.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package patchutils.
Unpacking patchutils (from .../patchutils_0.2.30-1_i386.deb) ...

Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9
...

Kind of worried that if I turn off the power, my machine won't boot,
so I tried to install a different non-nvidia kernel, but got the
same error.   Will be able to reboot when I turn off the power,
or should I keep trying different aptitude loading of different
kernels until one installs without the error?
Any way to fix the error?

Thanks
J
