I have installed linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 (2.6.32-41) and I have
booted three times without a failure. I have my root partition no longer

Hi Jonathan,
I must say that I have had no trouble since I switched to kernel 3.x.

It is much more stable. It failed once. I suppose it can be with the
normal init which has not been upgraded.
I'm kind of confused.
Installing Linux 3.0 from sid with linux-base, initramfs-tools and
linux-firmware makes my box boot.
Now, there is a fair distance between 2.6.38 and 3.0 + I am not an
expert in kernel internals.
I am grateful for your help, but I am afraid I will not propose a patch.
Good to have apt for the
