Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After installing linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64, and booting it in grub, I get the following output:
==== BEGIN ====
Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64'
root(hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/pasander-root ro usbcore.autosuspend=1 quiet
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
Press any key to continue...
===== END =====
I suspect that this is caused by:
$ file /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-*
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x901, swap_dev 0x1, Normal VGA
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Thu Oct 9 18:11:25 2008, max compression
The 2.6.26-1-amd64 kernel boots fine, it's what I'm using to submit this bug report ;)

A Xen-only kernel is never bootable on its own. Please read the
documentation before writing bugs.
