[Bug 524942] Re: FATAL: Could not open '/boot/System.map-2.6.32-13-generic': No such file or directory

[sharky6000]

Hi, I got a similar problem problem when upgrading from Karmic to Lucid
Lynx (beta 2) with some alsa packages..

For me, it couldn't find some required directories
(/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic and  /lib/modules/2.6.31-19-generic), so
I just created empty ones .. see mkdir below, then ran apt-get
autoremove and that finally worked. At least this is a temporary fix, it
seems:

After this operation, 40.4MB of additional disk space will be used.
