Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.26-17 Severity: important A user reported on d-s390 [1] that a Lenny installation on s390 failed with a kernel panic during boot. I could reproduce the panic on my Hercules system using the installer.
I then installed the current Lenny kernel on my installed Hercules system (running sid), and when I rebooted that with .26 I got the same panic, so it looks to be a kernel problem and not an installer problem. We included an s390 specific patch in 2.6.26-16 for #511334, but TBH I would be surprised if that was the cause given that it was very well tested. I'll try to look into this myself but can't give an ETA for results. Cheers, FJP [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-s390/2009/07/msg00002.html (contains boot log from submitter) Here's the boot log from my Hercules system: 0.000000!
