Package: linux-image-2.6-amd64 Version: 2.6.21+8 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable I recently installed Debian Lenny AMD64 from the first installer DVD. The installation went fine, and the system started OK. But when I tried to use the CD/DVD writer, I discovered that the kernel didn't detect it - it was as if there was nothing there. The only SATA or IDE devices reported are /dev/sda and its partitions (which is the harddisk). Loading ide-cd didn't help, loading ide-generic printed the output Probing IDE interface ide0... Probing IDE interface ide1... but still nothing happens, no device files, no output in dmesg. When I boot from the installer and start the shell, I see a /dev/hdb device file and /proc/ide/ide0/hdb/model says "TSSTCorp CDDVDW SN-S082H" (this file does not exist when I run the installed kernel). I have tried upgrading to the newest 2.6-amd64 kernel and also tried building my own 2.6.22.5 kernel, it's the same no matter what. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6-amd64 depends on: ii linux-image-2.6.21-2-amd64 2.6.21-6 Linux 2.6.21 image on AMD64 linux-image-2.6-amd64 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
