Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.41-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

----------
I have upgraded today from Squeeze to Debian-7.0.
However, while booting in the last 3 occasions, the machine hanged twice
with kernel Panic.

In both the occasions, the kernel waited unusually long to load the
initrd, and then complained about it and then asked to touch any
key to continue. Once I touched something, it panicked.

What surprises me is that if it is a initrd problem, why did it boot in
2 other occasions ?
Moreover, I have been using 'vmlinuz-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64' taken from backport
while using Squeeze, and the machine never hanged in the last 6 months.

The messages were captured with a camera and I am writing down most of
it as was visible in the last screen.

No filesystem could mount root. tried:

It would have been helpful if you had mentioned that earlier.
