Bug#842458: upgrade-reports: After dist-upgrade from jessie to testing, kernel doesn't load, not a single message on screen
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading system to the testing branch.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Just installed debian-8.6.0-xfce-CD-1. Everything was alright. Then I added testing branch of repository to the sources.list with "main contrib non-free" options. Then I did "apt-get update" -> "apt-get dist-upgrade".
* What was the outcome of this action?
System doesn't load. Instead of "Loading initramfs" just blinking '_'.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That system would load just like it was after fresh install.
This is probably due to my PC is being very old - Celeron 1.1 Ghz, 512Mb Ram, motherboard Elitegroup P6VXAT.
