Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7 Version: 2.6.18-8 Severity: important Dear kernel maintainers,
2.6.18-3-k7 hangs if 'apci=off' is specified as a boot parameter. The hanging occurs at different stages of the boot process, e.g.: [...] Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount... FATAL: Error inserting fan (/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-k7/kernel/drivers/acpi/fan.ko) : No such device FATAL: Error inserting thermal (/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-k7/kernel/drivers/acpi/the rmal.ko): No such device _ or [...] Setting console screen modes and fonts. Setting up general console font... or [...] Synthesizing the initial hotplug events...done. Waiting for /dev to be fully populated... The issue does not occur with 2.6.17 or earlier nor with 2.6.18-3-486 nor with 2.6.18-3-amd64 (i.e. on amd64).
