Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 Version: 2.6.25-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hello all, I experience early boot-time kernel panic with linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 (2.6.25-5) on my amd64 box. After having read tons of posts on forums, and particularly: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482773 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479101 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479607 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479607#96 I know that the bug I discovered is closely related to already reported bug #479607 which apparently concerns lilo because: The bug - kernel panic - happens just before any piece of userspace code being loaded from initial RAM disk : ======================================= RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0. List of all partitions : 0100 65536 ram0 (driver?) .. .. .. 010f 65536 ram15 (driver?) No filesystem could mount root, tried: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(22,65) ======================================= But I have to add food for thought: Here follow key files on my Debian_amd64 system: ls -l /boot gave: ( cropped the list to meaningful parts ) -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6621847 jun 21 11:19 initrd.img-2.6.18-6-amd64 -rw------- 1 root root 7090895 jun 21 09:40 initrd.img-2.6.24-1-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7276007 jun 21 11:41 initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21132800 jun 21 18:03 initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64.cpio -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5598429 jun 21 18:06 initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64_light -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16109056 jun 21 18:12 initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64_light.cpio -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1512362 jun 6 09:20 vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1668248 mai 10 11:32 vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1727488 jun 12 18:35 vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-amd64 ls -l /boot/initrd.img-2.6.*amd64{,_light}{,.cpio} gave: ( cropped the list to meaningful parts ) /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-amd64: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Sat Jun 21 11:19:01 2008 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-amd64: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Sat Jun 21 09:40:50 2008 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Sat Jun 21 11:41:17 2008 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64.cpio: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC) /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64_light: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Sat Jun 21 18:06:31 2008, max compression /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64_light.cpio: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC) WHERE initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64_light is a manually lightened customization of the original initrd. Finally, since I only experience trouble - very early kernel panic - with 2.6.25-2-amd64 regardless wether my initrd is heavy or not, how do you explain this strange behavior ? In hope my report will prove useful.
