Bug#573211: linux-image-2.6.26-2-sparc64 - Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee

[Stefan Bauer <stefan.bauer@cubewerk.de>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-sparc64
Version: 2.6.26-21
Severity: critical

Hi,

i'm using the netinstall method to put debian on my sun V120
stations. (i took the netinst.img dated 13:46 30-01-10) from here:

http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-sparc/current/images/netboot/

I had no problem with linux-image-2.6.26-1-sparc64 but
linux-image-2.6.26-2-sparc64 drops a Kernel panic.

Additional informations here - other people also discovered that
problem.

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-sparc@lists.debian.org/msg22126.html

Probably any change between package 2.6.26-1 and 2.6.26-2 caused
that problem. Older versions like 2.6.18 work also very well (like
the old etch installer)

This is a serious problem for me.

Stefan
