Re: Which kernel will Lenny likely use when it is released?
2.6.25 has produced unbootable machines for me on both amd64 sid boxes
I've tried. In both cases, the solution involved changing
"MODULES=most" to
"MODULES=dep" in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf (and rerunning
update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.25-2-amd64 or similar) but it didn't work
out of the box. I didn't really investigate the details, but it took
me a bit of googling to find that solution... It appeared to be unable
to boot the initial ramdisk because it was too big, and perhaps it's
an issue that both machines use the nvidia driver module, which is
kinda huge (and doesn't need to be on the initramfs) but it's still
pretty painful for people who expect lenny to be moderately stable. I
wouldn't want it in lenny until some remedy or improved sanity
checking is included.
