Bug#607347: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: kernel fails to boot, others work fine
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-29
Severity: important
OK, grub2, can't boot with squeeze's 2.6 amd64. This machine is on
openhosting.com, which significantly limits my ability to get
screenshots, but I'll try to attach one in my next message.
Here are my kernel packages:
oh-www1% sudo dpkg -l | grep -i linux-imag
ii linux-image-2.6-amd64 2.6.32+28 Linux 2.6 for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
ii linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 2.6.26-25 Linux 2.6.26 image on AMD64
ii linux-image-2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64 2.6.30-6~bpo50+1 Linux 2.6.30 image on AMD64
ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 2.6.32-29 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs
linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 works, linux-image-2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64
workse, linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 hangs at "SCSI subsystem
initialised". This may be related to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588509 , as I only
get a few lines further.
To rule out grub issues, here's a working menu entry:
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 3cb0cdf7-f55d-4a6b-a7b1-bee0d23e698e
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64 ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64 root=UUID=3cb0cdf7-f55d-4a6b-a7b1-bee0d23e698e ro
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64
}
and the non-working entry:
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 3cb0cdf7-f55d-4a6b-a7b1-bee0d23e698e
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 root=UUID=3cb0cdf7-f55d-4a6b-a7b1-bee0d23e698e ro
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64
}
I'm really not sure how to help debug this, but let me know and I
will try whatever you like.
