Package: extlinux
Version: 2:4.04+dfsg-7
Severity: normal

Just compiled 3.1.0 kernel, installed it (with make install as
/boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0), run extlinux-update, but after trying to boot it
with extlinux, it just hangs. :(

It looks like this: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6703/extlinuxhang.jpg

Now, I remember I had the exact same problem with 3.0.0. It looks like
as long as the kernel version finishes with a zero (0), extlinux can't
boot it.

Workaround: I simply renamed vmlinuz-3.1.0 to vmlinuz-3.1 and now
extlinux boots the very same kernel properly.
