--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-2.6 Version: 3.0.0-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Thanks for the new kernel. I tested it. Booting gave ALERT! /dev/sdb2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! which left the computer almost completely unusable. It seems to me that 3.0.0-1 reordered the hard drives. If I recall correctly, and I may not, I worked around the bug by reconfiguring grub.

That can happen, but is not a bug. > If I recall correctly, and I may not, I worked > around the bug by reconfiguring grub. You must specify root by UUIDs, not device names. The installer configures GRUB this way, and linux-base reconfigures it on upgrade if you let it.
