Version: 2.6.8
Severity: normal
The 2.4 kernel supports parameters passed on the kernel command line of
the form COUNTRY=United States; it understands the use of quotes
around the value with a space in it, and sets the environment variable
fine. It seems this support was dropped

Nope. Interesting to find someone actually uses that odd turn option
into env var stuff.
Yeah, and we use it in a decidedly odd way too, but it is useful.
(FWIW, we've stopped needing spaces in any env variables due to other
changes, so fixing this need not be a priority

I have a hppa a500 with two pci nics in it:

Severity: grave
Tags: d-i
Loading a module from the -2 version of this package when the -6 version
of the kernel is running fails for at least all the ide chipset modules
and for the ide generic module, with many missing symbols:
~ # uname -a
Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.74
Severity: normal
For some reason appending init=/bin/sh does not work with initrd-tools,
which proceeds to run the /sbin/init in the initrd.
However, if I boot with init=/bin2/sh, it works and I get a shell in the
initrd before it (fails to) mount my root
I was trying to debug a bug that turned out to be the sysfs bang bug in
the initrd with the 2.6 kernel and I noticed that the reason it's
falling back to sysfs in the first place seems to be because the linuxrc
does not run (wasn't that removed from many kernels or not supported on
all arches
This bug is release critical. Please do not downgrade it. (But thanks for
reopening it.)

Looking at how these proposed fixes would affect d-i and existing rc2
images:
a. If the SONAME is left unchanged and the new ABI remains, and things
are updated to use the new ABI:
- Installs from a rc2 netinst CD will keep working, but you'll get a
kernel with the old ABI. Installs

b. If the SONAME is increased and the ABI changes reverted for -1:
For some reason I based this on the mistaken assumption of -1 packages
staying in the archive after -2 entered it. Updated version for -1 going
away semi-immediatly:
- All rc2 images will keep working
clone 289155 -1
reassign -1 kernel-source-2.4.27
thanks

Cloning a bug for 2.4 since it's also vulnerable.

I think de4x5 should be a driver of last resort. Tulip should always
be preferred to drive a given piece of hardware. I wouldn't shed any
tears if we stopped shipping de4x5 by default -- it's caused no end of
problems on parisc and ia64.
OTOH it's the only module that
