Comment 13 for bug 99547

Having the same problem too. I tried to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.28-15, but couldn't. Got the following,

Setting up linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic (2.6.28-15.49) ...
Running depmod.

I tried doing it in recovery mode. This looped for ever giving errors. Now grub shows two kernels, 13 and 15.
15 won't boot so I am using 13.

I am running ubuntu 9.04.

Need help on how to deal with this.
