Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-486
Severity: important


linux-image-2.6.15-1-486 version 2.6.15-8 seems to require a version
of udev which is >0.85 and <=0.89. I installed etch using the
beta-2 debian installer (this installs version 2.6.15-7 of the kernel
package, and version 0.85 of the udev package). Then I 
aptitude-upgrade'd, which installed the new kernel version (2.6.15-8),
but did not upgrade udev as, apparently, a new dependency for udev was
introduced.

The result was an unbootable system, because the kernel did not have
the devices for the hard disks (/dev/hda etc.), and so could not mount
the root filesystem. The boot process stalled with a 
"waiting for root filesystem" message.

I used the installation disk in rescue mode to open a shell in the
system and run aptitude dist-upgrade, which upgraded udev to 0.89,
and this fixed the problem.

Note: The "system information" below is copied by hand, as the system
I'm using now is not the system where the problem occurred.

there is no longer an 2.6.15 in testing and 2.6.16 has newer /sysfs
layout whihc works with alll of the above named udev versions.

anyway initramfs-tools depends on (>= 0.086-1),
so this should be just fine inbetween. thus closing.
