Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Version: 2.6.8-3
Severity: important
KMail has problems directly sending a reportbug e-mail file including
headers (see: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89882). I did not find
an easy way to add these two headers manually, mutt is not set up and my
ISP's SMTP requires SMTP AUTH:

Hello,
The kernel from this package doesn't boot on my IBM ThinkPad T23 laptop
with 1.13 GHz Mobile Pentium 3 and 384 MB RAM. After GRUB loads the
kernel and the screen is blanked it will stay blank. I waited some
minutes, but nothing happens. This also happened sometimes with 2.6.7,
but most of the time it works. I never had this problem with 2.6.6.
Earlier versions of the 2.6.8 kernel-image packages (2.6.8-1 and 2.6.8-2)
worked correctly, but CD burning with "K3b" did only work as "root" on
this configuration. I updated to the latest 2.6.8 kernel-image package to
see if it fixes that problem and to see whether ACPI works better. But
well my machine won't boot with it.
Since I ran Kernel 2.6.7 I installed a Teac DVD burner, model DV-W24EW.
The installation of that device may be related to the problem, as I
didn't experience any boot problems with 2.6.7 before. However I am able
to burn CDs and DVDs just fine with this burner (with 2.6.7) provided
that 2.6.7 does boot (which is most of the time).
This is what I use in GRUB to start the Debian Linux system:
###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux###
title Debian Linux
kernel (hd0,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 vga=791
initrd (hd0,4)/initrd.img
This is from a GRUB installed by SUSE Linux 9.1, I didn't get around
setting up a Debian GRUB installation yet.
This is the PCI hardware in my system:
