Hi all,
On my Etch VPS, apt tells me I should upgrade to the latest kernel
packages with xen, but when I try to I get the following;
Setting up linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-686 (2.6.26-15) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
warning: grub-probe can't find drive for /dev/xvda1.
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/xvda1. Check your
device.map.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-686 (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of
linux-image-2.6-xen-686:
linux-image-2.6-xen-686 depends on linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-686;
however:
Package linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-686 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6-xen-686 (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

linux-image-2.6-xen-686
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Googling, I found a post on this very list with the exact error and
recommended fix;

I'd implement it right away apart from the bit where Andy says 'images
installed after today will be setup like this from the start', and as my
VPS is only a few weeks old, I thought I'd ask around to see if there
are any known issues, or a newer, more recommended fix..
cheers
