- Were there any non-Debian packages installed before the upgrade? No

- Was the system pre-update a 'pure' system only containing packages
  from the previous release? If not, which packages were not from that
  release?

- Did any packages fail to upgrade?

- Were there any problems with the system after upgrading? Wireless not working.


Further Comments/Problems: Previously when the kernel was updated the update would pause and apply a patch. on this update a message appeared stating a module was missing and it wa skipping that step.


Please attach the output of "COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l" (or "env COLUMNS ...",
depending on your shell) from before and after the upgrade so that we
know what packages were installed on your system.

Hi

Your report right now contains too little information that we can
really act on. A couple of questions:

- Can you please provide the upgrade log for apt and dpkg so we see
  which packages were involved and in particular if we are talking
  about a dkms module failing to build. check /var/log/apt/term.log*
  and /var/log/dpkg.log* for the given upgrade.

- Please provide as well the list of installed packages, though the
  first item here would be helpful.

- Please provide full kernel log after the update, ideally for both
  before the kernel update and reboot and as well for the booted
  kernel after the update.

Regards,
Salvatore

Hi

I've attached the information. I'm not certain what you mean by
including the log from before the update. I've been booting up by
selecting 6.12.43. I've included the results from booting up 6.12.43 and
6.12.48.

There are two lines in the term.log which I think point to the problem
Checking the installed list the headers for 6.12.48 is not installed. I
am not certain what other packages are needed and what is needed to
correct this.

Hi,

So it looks you do not have linux-headers-amd64 package installed, the
metapackage puling in the latest version of the headers in sync with
the installed (metapackage) linux-image-amd64.

Due to this the OOT module was built for 6.12.43 based version (for
which you have the headers installed) but not for the 6.12.48 one.

Install thus the linux-headers-amd64 package which should resolve your
issue to get the OOT module built with dkms as well for 6.12.48.

Salvatore
