Hi, I just installed 3.2.0-3-686-pae, but got a kernel panic when trying to boot with it. As transcribed from my phone-camera "screenshot" (there are 10 more lines of output I can transcribe if that'd help):
[ 0.987169] Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0) Any thoughts on why this kernel isn't working? Fortunately I was able to re-boot by selecting 3.2.0-2-686-pae from the Grub menu. This kernel had been installed explicitly by name: # aptitude install linux-image-3.2.0-2-686-pae Whereas 3.2.0-3-686-pae was installed using the linux-image-686-pae meta-package: # aptitude install linux-image-686-pae So something else I'm wondering...if I had initially installed 3.2.0-2-686-pae using the meta-package instead, would my recent upgrade to 3.2.0-3-686-pae using that same meta-package have removed 3.2.0-2-686-pae? % apt-show-versions linux-image-3.2.0-2-686-pae linux-image-3.2.0-2-686-pae 3.2.20-1 installed: No available version in archive % apt-show-versions linux-image-3.2.0-3-rt-686-pae linux-image-3.2.0-3-rt-686-pae/sid uptodate 3.2.21-3 % apt-show-versions linux-image-686-pae linux-image-686-pae/sid uptodate 3.2+45 This is up-to-date Sid on an X200s ThinkPad.
