Bug#312279: kernel-image-2.4.27-2-586tsc: System fails to boot with 2.4.27 installed

[Jefferson Cowart <jeff@cowart.net>]

Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-2-586tsc
Version: 2.4.27-10
Severity: important

I installed kernel-image-2.4.27-2-586tsc on my system. After rebooting
the system failed to boot with a kernel panic and something about
killing init. (Sorry I don't remember the exact error, but it is the
kind of error I get when it fails to mount my drive.) Directly before
this I got a bunch of errors about my ide devices. The system does
however boot 2.6.8 fine so I don't think it is a hardware problem.

I'm sure you will need more info to diagnose this, so please let 
me know what you need.
