Noticed here first in a chroot I use for live builds, when trying to install the latest 3.12-1-686-pae kernel. It was then found to also occur in the actual (sid) installation and the new kernel would not boot. It was sorted here for both using ulimit -n 4096 (in an installation root shell, not at the chroot prompt). I read that applies only for the session.
