Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-686
Severity: normal

setup:

- grub not lilo
- /boot separate partition
- mbr
- grub in /dev/hda1 (/boot)

install linux-image-2.6.12-1-686: reboot, whammo.

NOTHING boots.

i get grub error messages about "must load linux kernel before initrd".

on BOTH THE OLD AND THE NEW KERNEL.

the only recovery method available is to do a rescue cd boot, install
lilo, reboot, install grub, reboot.

(due to the use of a 2.4 rescue cd and lvm for /usr and /var, grub
install could not be done from the rescue cd, hence the use of lilo.
an alternate - compatible - boot kernel could probably shortcut the
use of lilo)
