Bug#273524: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386: Panics when mounting initrd.

[Bob Hauck <bobh@haucks.org>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386
Version: 2.6.8-3
Severity: important

Fails to boot.  Panics when mounting initrd (cramfs).  Worked fine with
kernels up to 2.6.8-2.  Reinstalled 2.6.8-2 and it again works fine.

This machine is fairly old, has an AMD CPU upgrade module, is a desktop
machine not a laptop.  The info from /proc is:

It has been working fine with stock Debian kernels up until now.  When
it had "woody" on it, I used a K6 kernel, which seems to have gone by
the wayside in "sarge", but as I said -1-386 was working with recent 
2.6.7 and 2.6.8 kernels.
