Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The prebuilt kernel image fails to boot on our Dell PowerEdge 2650 servers.
The error we get is /dev/console not found and init failed.
Infact, I tried a fresh install using the debian-installer CD, and
things went fine till the partition step, where the installer aborted
saying:
No partitionable media found. Please check that a hard disk is attached
to this machine.
Note that this was with the linux26 option -- with the linux24 option,
the install goes fine and the system boots okay. After that I
installed the latest kernel-image-2.6.8 and it also failed to boot,
so I'm guessing there is some issue with the Debian patches/config
options to 2.6.8.
Here are some more details:
