Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15

booting linux-image-2.6.15-25-k7 causes a kernel panik:

Thanks to crimsum who assisted on #ubuntu-bugs irc-channel I was able to solve this problem:

Do the following:
cd /boot
sudo -s
mkinitramfs -k -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-k7 2.6.15-26-k7

(gives a message: Working files in /tmp/mkinitramfs_wyu4NH and overlay in /tmp/mkinitramfs-OL_8eINcl)

Check if the new inird-img is created:
ls -l /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-k7

shows a new timestamp, so the new initrd.img was created sucessfully

reboot linux-image-2.6.15-25-k7

Sounds to me like your /boot might be running low on space.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.15:
status:	Unconfirmed → Rejected
