crash

[kr0nik]

Ok i updated using the update manager, after of which i started having problems.
everytime i run sudo apt-get install packagename i always get:

Setting up linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (2.6.27-7.16) ...
Running depmod.
Failed to run depmod
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

it doesnt matter what i try to install. and if i run depmod -a it gives me a bus error and drops back to the command line. if i boot up to the other kernel i get the same error but linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic in place of 7.

i get a crash report saying: Sorry, The package "linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic 2.6.27-7.16" failed to install or upgrade.

followed right after by another crash report with the same sorry message but with the package name of the package i was installing. Ive done sudo apt-get update, and

Here is my menu.lst

Hi am stil a newbie and am tired now to its 3:41 am here but Crash word always irritates me so i go look and the thirst thing that bumped into my head was compile the map with driver to ur linux file system to rpm or whatever it needs to see the files and try again, asuming u run Debian than compile to debian filesystem before instal, ...stil newbie here so its optional,if all sources run out u could try this idea

p.s. write protect off meens ur working in root access wich is "good" when installing ,if am talking ******** now the experts can say that here cause am not allknowing but easily said wrong package i think..stil newbie here just trying to help.

p.s.2 or maby an combination of wrong package and directory ,and i see Debian has made an dual boot wich is basically good or else u could not boot into another OS.

ubuntu, and its an ext3 filesystem. nothing is wrong with it. was a clean format and install
