Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 Version: 2.6.25-6 Severity: important
When upgrading to 2.6.25, the linux kernel re-assigns drive letters with respect to how it is done in 2.6.24. In my particular case, /dev/sdc is swapped with /dev/sdb. This will make a remote reboot unreliable and/or impossible, parameters used by the boot loader and fstab must be updated and even then the system keeps complaining about special devices which should be normal devices. This also happened, in reverse order, when upgrading from 2.6.18 to above. Nothing is changed in the BIOS. Booting into 2.6.24 says the root file system is on /dev/sdc, booting into 2.6.25 says the root file system is on /dev/sdb. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.92e tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.4-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.25-2-amd64: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.25-2-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.25-2-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.25-2-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.25-2-amd64: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/preinst/abort-install-2.6.25-2-amd64: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.25-2-amd64: false linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.25-2-amd64: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.25-2-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.25-2-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.25-2-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.25-2-amd64: false linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.25-2-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.25-2-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.25-2-amd64: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.25-2-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/preinst/initrd-2.6.25-2-amd64: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.25-2-amd64: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
