Package: kernel-package
Version: 8.111
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The libata driver uses scsi naming (e.g. /dev/sda) for SATA
devices, but when making a menu.lst (grub configuration file),
make-kpkg uses ATA naming (e.g /dev/hde) for such devices.
When root partition is located on a SATA device, this causes a
kernel panic at boot because root partiotion is not found by
the bootloader.
This problem ocured when running 2.4 kernel not using the libata
driver, and building a 2.6 kernel with libata included.
