Bug#316476: kernel-source-2.6.11: Fails to boot since 2.6.11-4
Package: kernel-source-2.6.11 Version: 2.6.11-4 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system (Sorry if this is a dupe, i had filled it against kernel-image-2.6.11-amd64-generic). Since kernel-image-2.6.11-amd64-generic 2.6.11-4, the kernel-image won't boot. The first error message says something like: Can't load shared object file libc.so.6 The second error message says it can't find sda1. My hypothesis is that the necessary modules for my onboard SATA controller are no longer included in the initrd image. I HAVEN'T modified /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf. I've a pretty common Asus K8V-X motherboard which SATA ctrler requires at least scsi_mod, sata_via and libata to work. Booting with the current kernel-image-2.6.8-amd64-generic image works fine. I'm happy i kept my very old image before upgrading 2.6.11!! -Pascal -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-11-amd64-generic Locale: LANG=fr_CA, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1)

In either case, could you pick one, assign both the bugs to it, and merge the bugs (or alternatively close one). The BTS doesn't sport the kernel's split packaging very well, but it seems better to avoid duplicates. On the up side, as of 2.6.12, the packages will have a single source, and this problem will go away to some extent.

Thanks for fixing my mess. I wasn't sure if the kernel-image-2.6.11-amd64-generic one was going to reach anyone since bugs.debian.org was showing unknown maintainer. And kernel-source-2.6.11-amd64-generic was a mistake. Sorry about that, won't happen again. -Pascal On 7/1/05, Steve Langasek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: reassign 316476 kernel-image-2.6.11-amd64-generic merge 316476 316453 thanks On Fri, Jul 01, 2005 at 02:10:04AM -0400, Pascal Giard wrote: Package: kernel-source-2.6.11 Version: 2.6.11-4 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system (Sorry if this is a dupe, i had filled it against kernel-image-2.6.11-amd64-generic).

Hi Frederik, i've just tried kernel-image-2.6.11-amd64-k8 with the exact same result...

Hi Frederik, i've just tried kernel-image-2.6.11-amd64-k8 with the exact same result... This is interesting. You have latest initrd-utils installed, and your system is up to date? i've initrd-tools 0.1.81.1 ... the latest according to packages.debian.org. can you please send your mkinitrd.conf? sure! i attached it. Could my problem be caused by ROOT=probe that fails detecting the needed modules? That would be strange as it used to work... menu.lst looks good, do the root devices match? yes... and 2.6.8 working confirms this. (also, i only have one SATA drive) i've just tried with a /etc/mkinitrd/modules that contains: ext3 sata_via scsi_mod sd_mod libata without success same error as before (shared object not found libc.so.6). i regenerated the initrd.img by dpkg -P kernel apt-get install kernel. -Pascal -- XBGM# (http://xbgm.sf.net) MoviXMaker-2 (http://sv.gnu.org/projects/movixmaker) [e]MoviX[2] (http://movix.sf.net) Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org) mkinitrd.conf Description: Binary data
Bug#316476: kernel-source-2.6.11: Fails to boot since 2.6.11-4
I was beginning to doubt that this was actually related to a change in kernel-source so i tried going back to 2.6.11-3. And it fails just like the others!? So it seems it's something else that broke it and the kernel-image package update just trigerred the problem... Could this be related to libc6ยน ?! I doubt it as the changelog doesn't show any change since may 10th (just before i actually bought my current amd64). When looking at the content of the initrd.img-2.6.11* i noticed that there wasn't any lib/libc.so.6 but there's a lib64/libc.so.6... Perhaps it could not find it! So i looked into initrd.img-2.6.8-amd64-generic and noticed that lib/libc.so.6 existed and there wasn't any lib64/libc.so.6. Ah ah, gotcha! Any idea what's the root cause? How can i fix this cleanly? -Pascal -- XBGM# (http://xbgm.sf.net) MoviXMaker-2 (http://sv.gnu.org/projects/movixmaker) [e]MoviX[2] (http://movix.sf.net) Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org)
