Dear Stephen,
Thanks for trying to help. Please find below the information you requested.
(1)
debian:/home/mizanur# grub-install -v
grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)
(2)
debian:/home/mizanur# cat /etc/kernel-img.conf
# Kernel image management overrides
# See kernel-img.conf(5) for details
do_symlinks = yes
relative_links = yes
do_bootloader = no
do_bootfloppy = no
do_initrd = yes
link_in_boot = no
postinst_hook = update-grub
postrm_hook = update-grub
(3)
None of these directories seem to exist. In fact there is no kernel
directory under /etc/.
debian:/home/mizanur# ls -l /etc/kernel/preinst.d
ls: cannot access /etc/kernel/preinst.d: No such file or directory
debian:/home/mizanur# ls -l /etc/kernel/prerm.d
ls: cannot access /etc/kernel/prerm.d: No such file or directory
debian:/home/mizanur# ls -l /etc/kernel/postinst.d
ls: cannot access /etc/kernel/postinst.d: No such file or directory
debian:/home/mizanur# ls -l /etc/kernel/postrm.d
ls: cannot access /etc/kernel/postrm.d: No such file or directory
