I upgraded from vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-mckinley to linux-image-3.2.0-2-itanium
yesterday.
Start-Date: 2012-05-03 10:43:33
Commandline: apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-2-itanium
Install: firmware-linux-free:ia64 (3, automatic),
linux-image-3.2.0-2-itanium:ia64 (3.2.15-1)
Upgrade: libklibc:ia64 (1.5.20-1+squeeze1, 2.0~rc3-1), klibc-utils:ia64
(1.5.20-1+squeeze1, 2.0~rc3-1), linux-base:ia64
(2.6.32-41squeeze2, 3.5), initramfs-tools:ia64 (0.98.8, 0.102)
End-Date: 2012-05-03 10:44:54
When I tried to boot the new kernel it freezed completely. I replaced
busybox with /bin/busybox in the initrd.img as suggested by Ã?meric and
it fixed this bug on my Powerdege 7250.
