Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-1-smp
Version: 2.4.27-4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

2.4.27-1-smp and 2.4.27-1-generic both reflect this problem/

When I install either Kernel-Image package (generic or smp) and reboot to either newer version, the 
machine becomes unusable and panics upon failure to load the detected SCSI Controller.

The Detected SCSI controller is a sym53c8xx from 
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-*/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx.o

This according to discover1-data is very incorrect. The proper Kernel Modules would be 
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-*/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym53c8xx_2.o

This is a mis read or typo some where.

Machine I have == DEC Sable 2100 A500MP with a 450AP-9A Chassis

/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx.o

recreate the initrd.img files with the copied driver.

As a result, the directory: /proc/scsi/sym53c8xx_2
is properly created and all functionality works.

Access to the machine in question can be arranged.

It is stable enough (for now) to start using it, for an SVN server (which is what I ressurrected it 
for).

Please contact me for further info. Please expect 2 more bugs related to this machine and these 
kernels.

Also expect a bugreport for 2.6.8-1-* for alpha as well. As these also have issue with the controller.
