--- Begin Message ---Package: extlinux Version: 2:4.05+dfsg-5 Severity: important I just upgraded one of my systems from squeeze to wheezy. I had extlinux installed, but no syslinux packages, since I don't install recommended packages by default. /etc/default/syslinux contained the line EXTLINUX_THEME="none" After rebooting, the system failed to boot, saying Could not find kernel: 0 printing the "boot:" prompt, and looping. When I hit tab, I got l0 l0r l1 l1r and the system booted OK if I typed in any of these. It was just the default boot on timeout that was failing. I then installed syslinux-themes-debian and changed the theme line to EXTLINUX_THEME="debian" and ran extlinux-update. Now everything works OK -- it times out to the first menu entry and boots fine. It seems that either the default configuration is wrong in the non-themed case, or the package should depend on syslinux-themes-debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages extlinux depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.43 ii libc6 2.13-33 Versions of packages extlinux recommends: ii os-prober 1.53 ii syslinux-common 2:4.05+dfsg-5 ii syslinux-themes-debian 10-1 extlinux suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded
