Bug#323481: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686: installing with e2fsprogs 1.35 makes system unbootable
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686
Version: 2.6.8-16
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Installing the kernel image breaks the current one and means the server
is in an unrebootable state. It is beause e2fsprogs is printing
some stupid HEX value for some reason. e2fsprogs is version
1.35-6
These kernel images MUST NOT use this e2fsprogs, installing
version 1.38-1.1 fixes it.
Please Hit return to continue.

Failed to create initrd image.

Errors were encountered while processing:

The problem is that e2fsprogs is not behaving, the script copies these
files into the initrd image
