Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.26-22lenny1 Severity: important I am using a pair of Dell PowerEdg 4200's that have been working with debian since 2002 or so, 100% perfectly. However, since testing out Lenny with a 2.6.26 kernel, it seems that both systems panic in an unbootable fashion with 2.6.26. On one (this) machine, I even removed the megaraid card, with the same scsi related crashing/panic.
I have tried a recompile of 2.6.26 with the old aic7xxx module instead of the new one, but it doesn't seem to make a differece. This following 2 dmesg dumps are from a serial console that I recorded earlier and put on pastebin (permanent paste): - 2.6.26 kernel that panics (latest unmodified debian kernel): http://pastebin.ca/1886636 - 2.6.18 kernel that works (latest unmodified debian kernel): http://pastebin.ca/1886641 I am still trying to find out what might have changed since 2002 or so, up until 2.6.26 that decided to make my dell's into useless paperweights, but at 5 hours per compile on a make-kpkg after a tree clean, its highly unlikely that I will be able to track it down anytime soon. I will try the latest stable vanilla kernel with everything disabled that I possibly can, and try get at least past the pivot_root to the real fs. I'll try let you know how it goes. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope. -- Package-specific info: ** Kernel log: boot messages should be attached ** Model information not available ** Network interface configuration: #
