[Bug 125816] Failed to install kernel update

[Marcel Stimberg]

The linux-image update of today failed to install via the update-manager on my up-to-date gutsy installation.
It states that the post-installation script of linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic and linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic exited with value 1.

When running the upgrade command from the terminal, I get the following messages (The output also mentioned to change the /etc/kernel-img.conf, which I did before running the command with the output stated here):
------------

No GRUB directory found. To create a template run 'mkdir /boot/grub' first. To install grub, install it manually or try the 'grub-install' command. ### Warning, grub-install is used to change your MBR. ###

User postinst hook script [/usr/sbin/update-grub] exited with value 1
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.22-14-386 (--configure):

------------

It seems, that my grub directory disappeared... After manually creating
/boot/grub, the installation went fine (regenerating the menu.lst)
