[Bug 52679] Re: link_in_boot not set correctly

[William]

I've had the same problem on my laptop (Mac iBook G3 600MHz).  I
initially installed Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 on my laptop with kernel
2.6.15.23-powerpc and although the kernel has been updated it appears
that the symlinks at /boot/vmlinux and /boot/initrd.img were not updated
so I have stayed with the same kernel.

I was completely unaware of this until upgrading to Ubuntu Edgy 6.10.
After which the network wasn't properly initialised on start up.  I've
had to manually initialise it each time I restart.

However, after spending the day trawling the Ubuntu forums I came across
this bug and updated the symlinks.  Now my network works fine on start
up which is a major relief.

I note this here, because I imagine this issue has affected a lot of
other power pc users, who may not be aware that this bug is the cause of
their loss of network connectivity.

I hope you are able to resolve this bug in future.  Many thanks for your
help.

William
