No, grave means: renders the package unusable for _everyone_.
OK, sorry.
After installing linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64, the system is unable to boot.
I says:
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
We don't support anything generating ramdisk. We only use initramfs,
which is handled different.
I didn't understand that...
Booting with linux-old (I'm using lilo and linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64) does work.
lilo have many problems.
I know, but when I installed Debian on this mbp grub wasn't able to boot
it, the recommended bootloader was lilo (if I remember correctly).
Anyway, I've given grub2 a try and it has booted perfectly, in case
anyone needs a how-to:
Install grub2
when configuring do not install on /dev/sda
run
update-grub2 (maybe not needed)
grub-install /dev/sda4 (if sda4 is your linux bootable partition
where previously lilo was).
Reboot and EFI should still have the linux option that will boot grub
instead of lilo.
Farewell lilo.
Thanks for the hint.
If grub is the default bootloader (I think so) I think this bug can be
closed.
Kind regards
Sebastià
