Problems with updating installing current testing distribution.
Last Monday I went to update my testing distribution. After a reboot I suddenly could no longer use my computer. For some strange reason I just noticed the terminal login and then started X and the screen stayed black. Unfortunately apparently the old method (ctrl alt backspace) to kill X no longer works so I could not check what went wrong. When I went to a new install of my testing distribution I ran into the same problem. All this occurred with a laptop TOSHIBA Skullcandy AMD A8 processor and Radeon graphics. Now I Installed the stable distribution to have a functioning computer but I'd like testing back. Anyone can help? Greetings Helmut Metzdorf
Bug#838177: os-prober: Fails to generate correct initrd line for Arch Linux if microcodes are installed
Package: os-prober Version: 1.71 Severity: normal On Arch Linux, the processor microcode comes as an additional initrd, so that two initrds have to be called in the config: initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-linux.img The line generated by os-prober is missing the actual initrd: initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img Therefore the Arch Linux kernel immediately panics. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages os-prober depends on: ii libc6 2.24-3 os-prober recommends no packages. os-prober suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
