Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Version: 2.6.8-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
*** Please type your report below this line ***
After upgrading my Dell Inspison 8100 (A15 bios) notebook to 2.6.8-3, it
no longer fully boots.
It gets partway through booting, then hangs. The point where it hangs
seems to vary, but it has hung at:
"EXT3 FS on hda1, internal journal"
"Setting the system Clock using the Hardware Clock as reference..."
"Calculating module dependencies..."
" /dev/hde/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2"
(that is, it has hung on several different occasions, and on at least
one of those, one of those four messages was the last thing to be
printed to the console before it died.)
The pre-rc2 d-i businesscard CD image exhibits the same behavior. It
seems to freeze as it's detecting hardware. I suspect it was built with
2.6.8-3.
The sarge rc1 businesscard CD does not hang.
No oops, panic or other signs of what's going on are displayed. The
system simply hangs.
As this problem appeared during an upgrade of a kernel package with an
identical name, I was not left with a working kernel on my system.
After much pain and fiddling, I managed to get 2.6.7-1-686 on the
laptop with the rc1 d-i image, and it's working normally with this
kernel.
2.6.8-1 and -2 worked fine on the same system, though they no longer appear to
be in the archives.
