Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 Version: 2.6.26-19 Severity: important Kernel image 2.6.26-1-686 is no problem. 2.6.26-2-686 drops me to a shell titled (initramfs) shortly after issuing the message: "Booting the kernel." It never gets to "Loading, please wait ..."
Before I get control there are a (large) number of screen messages of the form: /init: line1: /bin/sleep: not found and then "Gave up waiting for root device" and "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-label/D5root does not exist. Dropping to a shell! At this stage, looking at the filesystem available in initramfs: there is no /dev/disk/ directory although /dev exists, /proc/modules contains only thermal_sys, fan, processor, and thermal, /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/ appears well-populated, /sbin contains only 7 files (depmod, modprobe, resume, rmmod, udevadm, udevd, udevsettle), /bin/sleep exists so the multiple /init errors are not looking for /bin/sleep. I am using GRUB (legacy) and root=LABEL statements identical to the ones which boot 2.6.26-1-686 without any problem. I have regenerated the initrd-img a number of times to no effect. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.93.2 tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.7-pre9-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 suggests: ii grub 0.97-47lenny2 GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy v pn linux-doc-2.6.26 <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.26-2-686: shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.26-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.26-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.26-2-686: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.26-2-686: false linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.26-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.26-2-686: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/preinst/abort-install-2.6.26-2-686: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.26-2-686: false linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.26-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.26-2-686: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/preinst/initrd-2.6.26-2-686: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.26-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.26-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.26-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.26-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.26-2-686: true linux-image-2.6.26-2-686/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.26-2-686: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
