Bug#369517: linux-image-2.6.16-1-alpha-smp: undefined scsi symbols; fails to allocate percpu data
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-1-alpha-smp
Version: 2.6.16-12
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from the (working) 2.6.15 to (current) 2.6.16 but
some modules fail to load, I get the messages shown below.
Since I can't get to any of my disks (on any controller) the system is
unusable.
I have tried to rebuild dependencies (depmod -a $version) and then
rebuild initramfs but it did not help.
This is an Alphaserver 4100.
any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Andras
