Re: Latest kernel security update wont boot

[Marc Auslander <marcslists@gmail.com>]

I tried again - I did in fact (ignore earlier post) see the OK and
clicked on it.  initrd.img winds up being 89 bytes long.  The output
of the configure follow.  The only anomoly is the comment about a
missing link.

There is a /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686, but it does not contain an entry
names source.

Done.
Unpacking replacement linux-image-2.6.18-5-686 ...
Setting up linux-image-2.6.18-5-686 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch5) ...

 Hmm. The package shipped with a symbolic link /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/source
 However, I can not read the target: No such file or directory
 Therefore, I am deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/source

Running depmod.
