As for the OP, please provide more information, such as:
My apologies for being newbie; would try to answer questions; some might not be in right
terminology of linux..
(1) Where did you get your 2.6.33 kernel? Backports? Experimental?
Custom built? etc. How did you install it?
it is custom built kernel, compiled by a colleague some time ago, it is basically a debian package which is installed
Installation is being triggered as late command in preseed.cfg
(2) What bootloader do you use? grub? (version 1) grub-pc (version 2),
lilo? extlinux? etc.
I use grub version 0.97
(3) What is the contents of /etc/kernel-img.conf?
Will try installation again and let you know.
(4) What is the contents of your boot loader configuration file?
(/etc/lilo.conf for lilo, /boot/grub/menu.lst for grub version 1,
etc.)
menu.lst contains two entries for kernel 2.6.26.2, which boots perfectly.
(5) What scripts exist in /etc/kernel/postinst.d, /etc/kernel/postrm.d,
and /etc/initramfs/post-update.d?
Have to try to install it again and will let you know.
(6) Are symbolic links used for the kernel, such as vmlinuz,
and vmlinuz.old? And what about the initial RAM file systems?
Are symbolic links used for them too? (initrd.img, initrd.img.old)
If so, where are these symbolic links? (/, /boot, etc.)
When I boot with old kernel under /boot, i can not see initrd.img for 2.6.33.3;
means it is missing nor links exists.
(7) What exactly are the symptoms of failure when you attempt to
boot the 2.6.33 kernel?
At installation time it does not give any error and system reboots and boots with old kernel.
I think first issue is initrd.img is missing for 2.6.33.3 and that is the reason menu list also not being updated.
Thanks!
