LinuxQuestions.org - Trouble updating kernel.

Hey guys,

I went to Synaptic and checked the "linux-kernel-686" package for installation.. It downloaded, did its thing and went to a terminal window in the program..

It said "failed!" so I said screw it, and did it from the terminal.. Heres what I get:

Code:

root@ubuntu:/home/chris # dpkg --configure -a

Setting up linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-686 (2.6.8.1-16.12) ...

/boot/initrd.img-2.6.8.1-5-686 points to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8.1-5-686 -- doing nothing at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.8.1-5-686.postinst line 514.

Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub .

Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst .

Searching for splash image... none found, skipping...

Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-5-686

Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-3-386

Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-test

It doesnt go passed "Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-test". I let it run for 8 hours the other night when I went to sleep, only to twake up and see that it was still frozen at the same spot.

Help! Thanks.
