Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11 Severity: critical File: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-amd64 Justification: breaks the whole system
In -3-, sata_via was linked in. In -4-, it's a module. As a consequence, the initrd.img could no longer mount root. Fixed by /etc/initramfs-tools/modules sata_via sd_mod For reference, /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb2[0] sda2[1] 154191744 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> At least a warning would have been appreciated. I was very lucky in that our hoster offered me access via a console server; this would have been pretty much impossible to remotely debug otherwise. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (501, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'old-proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 depends on: ii coreutil 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii debconf 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii e2fsprog 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 ext2 file system utilities and lib ii initramf 0.85e tools for generating an initramfs ii module-i 3.3-pre4-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.18-4-amd64: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.18-4-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/initrd-2.6.18-4-amd64: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.18-4-amd64: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.18-4-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.18-4-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.18-4-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.18-4-amd64: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/abort-install-2.6.18-4-amd64: shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.18-4-amd64: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.18-4-amd64: false linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.18-4-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.18-4-amd64: false linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.18-4-amd64: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.18-4-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.18-4-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.18-4-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.18-4-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.18-4-amd64: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
