Comment 40 for bug 292606

Hi

So I have this problem now. As a result of an upgrade I had serious boot issues, I almost considered reinstalling an os. Anyways I installed a custom kernel and the latest Nvidia drivers. Apparently this is bad form? It's linux is it not so I can use kernel.org kernels can I not?

So I have this problem and apt-get and aptitude want to configure my kernel
linux-image-2.6.31.5-amd64-custom but it appears ot work fine...

I get:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
...

Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common exited with return code 20
Failed to process /etc/kernel/postinst.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.31.5-2.6.32.5.custom.postinst line 1186.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.31.5-2.6.32.5.custom (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

I wondering how to get apt-get and aptitude to ignore this non-error and work almost normally. I had another problem with my 32 bit chroot after the upgrade and I managed to get past it.

Thanks,

Karim
