Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 Version: 2.6.30-5 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1
On upgrade from 2.6.30-2-686 networking (on a remote machine) failed to start, meaning that a support ticket had to be opened for KVM access. Diagnosis revealed that the e100 driver in 2.6.26-2-686 required no firmware, so the firmware-linux package wasn't installed. Apparently 2.6.30-1-686 was built with external firmware for the e100 so it now depends on the firmware-linux package. This is a serious policy violation because required hardware stops working after the upgrade. Fix suggested is to make 2.6.30-1-686 depend on linux-firmware so that on upgrade the necessary firmware is present. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.93.4 tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.9-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 suggests: ii grub 0.97-55 GRand Unified Bootloader (dummy pa ii grub-legacy [grub] 0.97-55 GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy v pn linux-doc-2.6.30 <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.30-1-686: false linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.30-1-686: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.30-1-686: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/preinst/abort-install-2.6.30-1-686: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.30-1-686: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/preinst/initrd-2.6.30-1-686: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.30-1-686: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.30-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.30-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.30-1-686: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
