Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 Version: 2.6.16-14 Severity: grave Hello,
today my machine failed to boot. What was the real reason? Something is completely fscked up with initrd management. The chronics: some weeks ago: install of linux-image-2.6.16-1-amd64 dist-upgrading manual install of self-compiled linux-image-2.6.17-rc6 (without initrd) reinstall of linux-image-2.6.16-1-amd64 deinstall of linux-image-2.6.17-rc6 today: install of linux-image-2.6.16-2-amd64 reboot Machine does not reboot. -1-amd64 is broken because initrd.img.old points to the _new_ initrd for -2-amd64 and initrd.img symlink is missing. So, how could this happen? I don't know. The only suspicious thing that I remember is that grub-install seemed to be run twice, I don't know why. But such problems must not appear, thus the severity.
