Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-powerpc Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I recently started booting my TiBook into linux again after not using it for a while. It was running 2.6.8 and after running into the well-known udev problems, I now have a self built 2.6.16 kernel and the lastest udev running. However, when I now try to install the stock Debian kernel, it fails: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# aptitude install linux-image-2.6.16-2-powerpc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

Trying to recover: I've tried looking through the preinst, but I'm not sure what is going wrong since there isn't much in the way of an error message. Since it seems to start by setting up the initrd, I tried both initramfs-tools and yaird (after setting the ramdisk option in /etc/kernel-img.conf) just in case. However, I still get the same error.
