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.
