Bug#343280: linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7: Will not boot due to block device error
Package: linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7
Version: 2.6.14-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
After upgrading linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7 from version 2.6.14-4 to
2.6.14-5, I immediately rebooted the system. Upon boot, the following
was received:
/bin/cat: /sys/block/hda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 1 seconds for /sys/block/hda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/hda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 2 seconds for /sys/block/hda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/hda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 4 seconds for /sys/block/hda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/hda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 8 seconds for /sys/block/hda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/hda/dev: No such file or directory
Waiting 16 seconds for /sys/block/hda/dev to show up
/bin/cat: /sys/block/hda/dev: No such file or directory
Device /sys/block/hda/dev seems to be down.
Debugging opportunity, type ^D to continue.
/bin/dash: can't access tty; job control turned off
#
At this point, typing ^D gives:
/bin/mknod: missing operand after 'b'
Special files require major and minor device numbers.
Try '/bin/mknod --help' for more information.
It them proceeds to redisplay the above set of meesages concerning
/sys/block/hda/dev.
As I am filing this bug report (by running 'reportbug'), reportbug's
package integrity verification is displaying the following:

I have redownloaded and reinstalled the package twice and the same
