severity 251861 grave thanks This bug is release crticial: it makes it impossible to install debian with the 2.6 kernel. We have a patch for the bug, but I don't know if Herbert will be avilable to release it. Didn't he quit? So can someone step up and get a fixed package into the archive? An alternative fix would be to remove kernel-image-2.6.6-1-386 (et al) from testing. The 2.6.5 version is still available in testing, and works. Since this bug *is* RC, that would be an appropriate response, IMHO. (I see a slightly different bug with this kernel and my test laptop. When the frame buffer is turned on just before base-config starts, the laptop simply turns off. I suspect it's the same bug, different failure mode.) -- see shy jo
