I have now bypassed the problem by installing another network  interface  card.  I was able to continue the squeeze upgrade,  which is now essentially complete. However the onboard ethernet adaptor is still not working. syslog still contains a message ``eth0: unable to apply firmware patch''. I wo

Yes, I waited more than a minute. I have subsequently investigated the problem booting 2.6.32 more carefully. I suspect it is a bug you might want to know about, unrelated to Bug#557033, so I am about to create a fresh bug report. Some of the information I gave earlier in this thread related

Good morning > well unless you can't reproduce the message with 2.6.32 > this bug can be closed. I can neither confirm nor deny that 2.6.32 fixes bug#557033, because I can't boot 2.6.32, and at the moment I can't devote more time to it. It's clearly a good policy to close bugs that cannot be co
