----------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Stable Updates Announcement SUA 133-1 https://www.debian.org debian-release@lists.debian.org Ben Hutchings December 16th, 2017 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : linux Version : 3.16.51-3 [jessie] Importance : medium The update to the Linux kernel included in the recent point release of Debian 8 "jessie" unfortunately caused it to crash at boot on some systems with more than one CPU socket. This update resolves that issue. If you are affected by the problem, we strongly recommend that you install this update. As a temporary workaround, you should be able to boot an affected system by adding "numa=off" to the boot parameters. For example, if you use the GRUB boot loader you can press E at the boot menu and add "numa=off" to the line that begins with "linux". Upgrade Instructions -------------------- You can get the updated packages by adding the stable-updates archive for your distribution to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main You can also use any of the Debian archive mirrors. See https://www.debian.org/mirrors/list for the full list of mirrors. Installation on Affected Systems -------------------------------- The Debian Installer will not be updated to fix this issue until the next point release. If you need to install Debian 8 on a machine that is affected by this issue, you can use either an 8.9 installer image or the workaround explained above. For further information about stable-updates, please refer to https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/03/msg00010.html If you encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to get in touch with the Debian Release Team at debian-release@lists.debian.org
