Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386 Version: 2.6.8-10 Severity: critical File: kernel-image-2.6.8 Justification: breaks unrelated software
The USB controller on my board doesn't work with 2.6.8 but does with 2.6.10. I've called this critical but you may only consider it grave sicne not too many people depend on usb drives to boot, so it's 'only' usb device use that breaks. However, all or at least most usb devices will not work with the board (see below) which is some pretty major functionality.
The computer has a PCChips M599LMR motherboard with built-in SiS USB 1.0 Controller. The failure (according the Theodore Kilgore, the libgphoto2 driver maintainer for sq905 devices) is in bulk transport messages from usb devices. This renders my scanner and camera unusable under 2.6.8. 2.4.27 and 2.6.10 both work, however. (The upstream kernel people are aware of this problem, and have fixed it in 2.6.10).
