Subject: kernel panic with libc6-2.3.6-2
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-13
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hello,
Each week I try out the progress of Etch, and yesterday
I upgraded libc6 (and libc6-amd64) from 2.3.5-13 to 2.3.6-2
* and continued working successfully with no problems*
Today I boot my PC resulting in a kernel panic at boot (repeatedly,
at the same location, reproducibly). Something about not being able
to locate the root device. Since this is on a S-ATA disk on a
MSI motherboard with nforce3 chipset that I had serious trouble with
in the past (changing the names of its disks from hde5 <-> sda5 and back)
I tried both booting with option root=/dev/sda5 and with root=/dev/hde5
to no avail.
It took me quite a while to figure out what it was that broke
the system.
Kernel 2.6.15 failed to boot; in an older kernel 2.6.8 on the
same hardware the system booted fine.
downgrading libc6 from 2.3.6-2 to 2.3.5-13 solved the problem.
I'm really sorry that I can't pinpoint the problem better... good luck!!
Frits
PS: I've also installed udev 0.084-5, hal 0.5.6-4 and dbus 0.60.5 in case
that's of any help..

Hello Aurelien,
In february I reported bug #354749, that upgrade of libc6 t o2.3.6 made my
system unbootable;
in the meantime this bug has been tagged unreproducible because I didn't
write back.
Update: you can close the bug; I am now running libc6 2.3.6-3 without any
Ok, closing it with this mail.
Aurelien
