Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-12
Severity: important

Hi,

virtualization is becoming more and more common, especially for people doing bug 
testing.  This is how I stumbled upon the following error which I hope can be 
fixed before lenny becomes stable.

The kernel linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 will not boot when run as a virtualbox guest 
on a 686 host.  The -486 version runs fine and is an acceptable workaround.  The 
2.6.18 kernel from etch works in the -686 flavour as well.

The kernel crashes immediately after grub ran and it takes the whole virtual 
machine with it.  Thus, I have no log.

My advice to others running into this issue is to install the -486 lenny kernel 
until there is a fix.

Regards

Rolf

I presume that this bug is fixed with the virtualbox fixes. Closing, as
no new information was provided.
