It looks to me like perhaps you
have stable in your sources.list file, but you are running Lenny. You’ll
need to either specify Lenny in your sources.list file or else upgrade to the
stable release ( Squeeze). At this point you may not be able to gracefully
back out of the current situation, so an upgrade may be required. There are a
number of “gotchas” inherent in the Lenny => Squeeze upgrade, particularly
WRT to the kernel and udev. There are also some issues surrounding bootable
RAID arrays. Specific to the failure you are getting, my guess is grub-probe
is failing because of the switch from /dev/hdx to /dev/sdx for sata (and IDE ,
I think) drives. We’ll need a great deal more information to assist you
further, including a listing from grub concerning the target drives, your
version of udev, etc. From:

[mailto:address@hidden On Behalf Of Thilan Irshad Dear respected Debian Administrators I have an issue on my debian Server (Lenny 5). To give all the informations upfront : My Webserver Specifikations Intel Core i5-750 4 x 2,66 GHz 6 GB DDR3-RAM 2 x 1.000 GB SATA II System Debian Lenny (5 I think) & 64bit My issue is, i am unable to install anything on my server ... i get the follow error msg: reconfiguring packages ... nano /etc/fstab
I was told on linux debian forum I strongly suspect that your quite old version
of grub2 is the culprit on this (Lenny had grub - legacy - as default). Can someone here help me identify my issue and
help me with a workarround ? Its a webserver(dedicated), and i have SSH
access to it.. All help most appriciated |
