Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 Version: 2.6.26-12 Severity: important Hi,
virtualization is becoming more and more common, especially for people doing bug testing. This is how I stumbled upon the following error which I hope can be fixed before lenny becomes stable. The kernel linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 will not boot when run as a virtualbox guest on a 686 host. The -486 version runs fine and is an acceptable workaround. The 2.6.18 kernel from etch works in the -686 flavour as well. The kernel crashes immediately after grub ran and it takes the whole virtual machine with it. Thus, I have no log. My advice to others running into this issue is to install the -486 lenny kernel until there is a fix.
