[Bug 52724] linux-image is installed with no errors but image is not created

[KurtKraut]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-4-k7

Hi,

I've been playing around safely with linux-image-2.6.17-3-k7. I had no
problem. I've downloaded it from the Edgy repositories on my Dapper and
I've installed it with gdebi.

But now I'm attemping to install linux-image-2.6.17-[B]4[/B]-k7 to keep
in touch with Edgy development.

I've insalled manualy all dependencies (like libc6) ant there is no
package missing.

When I install this kernel version with dpkg I get no error prompted.
But a few this just don't happen:

1) /boot/grub/menu.1st is not changed
2) /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-3-k7 is not created

Other files like vmlinux/System.map/Abi/config-2.6.17-3-k7 are properly
created.


Is this a bug ? How should I proceed to complete this kernel installation from Edgy's packages ?

Thanks in advance.
