After i read the errors i decided to go to the /boot directory and i saw that indeed the only initrd and vmlinuz files where for the new kernel 2.6.24.26. Everything else was missing along side with the 2.6.22-14.
So decided to trick the system and i made a copy of this images of 2.6.24.26 into 2.6.22-14 using cp for intrd and vmlinuz.
The result i got afterwards:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Setting up linux-server (2.6.24.26.28) ...
To add up with all this confusion when i typed uname -a i got a response that my current running kernel was: 2.6.28-15-server.
Checking my /lib/modules also verified that this was the latest in the system:
2.6.22-14-generic 2.6.22-14-server 2.6.24-24-server 2.6.28-14-server
2.6.22-14-rt 2.6.24-23-server 2.6.24-26-server 2.6.28-15-server
So thinking that that is a weird quirk but the upgrade was successful i sudo reboot now the system and it wouldnt boot. Then i used a rescue console to access the server and checked the /var/log/syslog which didnt have anything else in it after the restart. Essentially from what i understand everything just crashed before even the kernel was loaded.
I checked then my lilo.conf and discovered that it had the old version of a linux kernel...the one that was missing in the /boot:
boot=/dev/sda
root=/dev/sda2
timeout=40
prompt
default=Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-server
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-server
So i replaced this values with the only ones existing in the /boot and restarted and the system still wouldnt boot.
Checking my backups before the upgrade that i kept i found that the folder /boot was empty before that but the lilo config was as in the log that i presented.
So i wonder if the system could boot without anything in the /boot directory.
Also i would kindly ask for your help cause i am desperate to fix the problem and i have no idea how...
Last night i saw that there were updates for bind apache php so i decided to do a dist-upgrade.
the log is:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
After i read the errors i decided to go to the /boot directory and i saw that indeed the only initrd and vmlinuz files where for the new kernel 2.6.24.26. Everything else was missing along side with the 2.6.22-14.
So decided to trick the system and i made a copy of this images of 2.6.24.26 into 2.6.22-14 using cp for intrd and vmlinuz.
The result i got afterwards:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Setting up linux-image-server (2.6.24.26.28) ...
Setting up linux-server (2.6.24.26.28) ...
To add up with all this confusion when i typed uname -a i got a response that my current running kernel was: 2.6.28-15-server.
Checking my /lib/modules also verified that this was the latest in the system:
2.6.22-14-generic 2.6.22-14-server 2.6.24-24-server 2.6.28-14-server
2.6.22-14-rt 2.6.24-23-server 2.6.24-26-server 2.6.28-15-server
So thinking that that is a weird quirk but the upgrade was successful i sudo reboot now the system and it wouldnt boot. Then i used a rescue console to access the server and checked the /var/log/syslog which didnt have anything else in it after the restart. Essentially from what i understand everything just crashed before even the kernel was loaded.
I checked then my lilo.conf and discovered that it had the old version of a linux kernel...the one that was missing in the /boot:
boot=/dev/sda
root=/dev/sda2
timeout=40
prompt
default=Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-server
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-server
So i replaced this values with the only ones existing in the /boot and restarted and the system still wouldnt boot.
Checking my backups before the upgrade that i kept i found that the folder /boot was empty before that but the lilo config was as in the log that i presented.
So i wonder if the system could boot without anything in the /boot directory.
Also i would kindly ask for your help cause i am desperate to fix the problem and i have no idea how...
