Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.30-1
Severity: normal
Hi.
The consequence of this problem seems similar to the report #532861.
My current kernel (2.6.26-1) behaves fine, while following an upgrade,
the newly installed is stuck just after printing "Waiting for root [...]".
The root file system was installed (using the Debian netinst from about
two years ago) on reiserfs on LVM on RAID1.
[To add to the annoyance, the upgrade process updated some X library,
and, although X starts up, no other graphical program does, so my
machine is now mainly unusable even with this working kernel.]

thanks for the feedbac, thus closing.
