Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.0.0-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Thanks for the new kernel.
I tested it.
Booting gave
ALERT! /dev/sdb2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
which left the computer almost completely
unusable.
It seems to me that 3.0.0-1 reordered the hard
drives.
If I recall correctly, and I may not, I worked
around the bug by reconfiguring grub.
Thanks,
Kingsley

That can happen, but is not a bug.

You must specify root by UUIDs, not device names. The installer
configures GRUB this way, and linux-base reconfigures it on
upgrade if you let it.
