I have been getting this error. I am currently running xubuntu 8.04.4 on a really old laptop. I can't seem to solve it the way apt is asking me to. Here is what I am getting:
kevin@kevin-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[sudo] password for kevin:
Setting up linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-28-generic (2.6.24-28.47) ...

Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
