[Bug 52679] Re: Linux upgrade doesn't update symlinks used by yaboot

[Colin Watson]

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Untriaged => High

** Summary changed:

- Linux upgrade doesn't update symlinks used by yaboot
+ link_in_boot not set correctly

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-powerpc
- 
  The Linux kernel upgrades for dapper quietly fail because they update
  the initrd.img and vmlinux symlinks in /, but not the ones in /boot
  which yaboot uses.  The result is that after reboot I'm still using the
  old (vulnerable) kernel.
  
  This copy of dapper was a fresh install just after dapper came out, and
  /etc/yaboot.conf hasn't been altered by hand - it always referred to
  /boot/initrd.img and /boot/vmlinux (and .old symlinks, which don't
  exist).
