Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


The newest version of linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 refuses to boot on my
laptop. The previous version of the same package booted fine. It runs
the script-top (iirc) script, then sits on "waiting for root filesystem"
until I reboot with ctrl-alt-delete. Ctrl-c, ctrl-\ and other key
combinations will not cause the boot to progress.
