Bug#329355: Kernels compiled from kernel-source-2.4.27 can't boot on x86_64.
Package: kernel-source-2.4.27
Version: 2.4.27-11.hls.2005082200
Severity: important
Kernels compiled from kernel-source-2.4.27 fail to boot on x86_64, with
a 'FATAL: Kernel too old' error. This is on a 3.1r0a/x86_64 system, with
security and standard updates as of yesterday. The error is probably
caused by libc6 having been built against a v2.6 kernel, which seems
very probable since 3.1r0a ships with a 2.6.8 kernel. However, if this
is actually the case, a remark in the package's description or a preinst
dialog warning the user of this problem (if not taking this package
completely off the x86_64 repo) would be very useful and time-saving.
