Comment 13 for bug 292606

In Intrepid amd64 with kernel 2.6.27.18:

If I remove the nvidia-common package, the kernel install "finishes" without error, but it is not really finishing.

The kernel is never added to /boot/grub/menu.lst and I suspect other more important steps are being skipped.

I can manually add the kernel to menu.lst and surprisingly enough it boots, but I can't be sure what parts of the install are being skipped .

I don't think this error is strictly bound to nvidia-common since the installation seems to fail even without the package.
