Severity: important
I encountered following problem, at least on my UltraSparc:
1. Fresh installation with debian-installer rc2.
kernel-image-2.4.27-1-sparc64-smp is installed
2. install kernel-image-2.6.8-1-sparc64-smp
the postinst-script generates a new silo.conf and the symlinks in /boot
Symlinks are ok:
# ls -la /boot/vmlinuz* /boot/initrd.img*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2004-11-25 17:57 /boot/initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-sparc64-smp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3391488 2004-11-25 13:46 /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-sparc64-smp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3555328 2004-11-25 17:57 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-sparc64-smp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2004-11-25 13:46 /boot/initrd.img.old -> initrd.img-2.4.27-1-sparc64-smp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2004-11-25 17:57 /boot/vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-sparc64-smp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1164425 2004-08-24 10:39 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-1-sparc64-smp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1315734 2004-10-18 07:33 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-sparc64-smp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2004-11-25 13:46 /boot/vmlinuz.old -> vmlinuz-2.4.27-1-sparc64-smp
but silo.conf looks like this
# cat /etc/silo.conf
root=/dev/sdb2
partition=1
default=Linux
read-only
timeout=100
initrd=/initrd.img
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
now booting LinuxOLD does not work because it loads the wrong initrd (2.6)
removing the global initrd= entry and adding one appropriate per image helped
I'm not sure which version of kernel-package was used to create the packages, but both
postinst files have this:

* Joshua Kwan
- Yeesh. Build the package in binary-arch, not binary-indep.
- [ -n "$bootfs" ] instead of [ "$bootfs" ].
- Remove isinstallable and take care of apt-installing silo in
the postinst, since debootstrap no longer takes care of this.
(Closes: #262188)
- Install initrd stanzas for vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old. (closes: #283062)
