Package: debian-installer Version: etch b3 20060910 snapshot Severity: important
As mentioned in bug report Bug#387147, I had another look to installing etch b3 on the xSeries 336 server (FYI: that bug was a udev problem on an IBM xSeries 306). While the install is fine; it locks up during first boot. The message (just after initialising the mtdbase modules and registering sd0:0:0) is a kernel BUG about CPU#0 soft lock detected. Re-compiling the kernel to 2.6.17 with the same config as the 2.6.16-amd64-generic as provided with etch b3 (only change is setting the proc arch to EM64T) and upgrading udev to the sid version solves the problem for me; kernel compiled with fakeroot make-kpkg --revision 0.1 --initrd kernel_image I should have checked if upgrading the kernel alone did the trick, but since the problems with udev on the 306; I decided on upgrading it with the kernel. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (700, 'experimental'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
