Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-mckinley
Version: 2.6.26-11

Justification: renders package unusable

Attempting to boot linux-image-2.6.26-1-mckinley (2.6.26-11) as an HP
Integrity Virtual Machines guest OS results in a panic during network
startup.  Console messages leading up to this:

Hardware information:
The physical system in an HP Integrity rx3600 running HP-UX 11.23 0609
and Integrity VM version A.03.00.  The VM has two CPUs, 3Gbytes of RAM,
a single SCSI DVD drive, two SCSI hard drives, and two "Intel Corporation
82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller" NICs.

lspci output:
00:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 07)
00:01.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 07)

Integrity VM saved a core dump file which is available if desired.
Physical access to this machine may be available for developers in the
nothern Colorado area (dannf, want to come and lay hands on?)
