Hi there! Please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed to d-release. I cc:ed d-devel FYI, but I think this discussion belongs to d-release, please continue there.
I just discovered a "bug" with the etch-and-a-half kernel [1]. Actually, it's not really a bug, but it clearly needs an entry in the release note. It should have been already present in the documentation for etch-and-a-half [2], but I completely forgot about it until I installed an etch-and-a-half kernel today. The problem is described at bugs #435834 [3] and #438566 [4]. Briefly, starting from Linux kernel 2.6.22, disks attached to the Promise TX4 controller are ordered in a different way. This can cause boot loader problems, at least with GRUB Legacy: since the /boot partition is no more accessible, you get an "Error 15: File not found". Thus, manual intervention is needed before the first reboot with a kernel >= 2.6.22.
