Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-sparc64
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
This kernel, which seems currently to be the latest in testing/etch,
hangs on my Sun Blade 150 after displaying "Booting Linux" (at that
stage where linux-image-2.6.16-2-sparc64 switches video resolution).
This is a fresh install using d-i beta-3 (d-i etch rc-1 also hangs
early in the boot process).
This kernel (from d-i beta-3 netinst)
ii linux-image-2.6.16-2-sparc64 2.6.16-17 Linux kernel 2.6.16 image on uniprocessor 64
seems to boot and run fine.
Please CC me if there's anything I can do to resolve this issue.
Thanks.
