Package: linux-image-2.6.16-1-686
Version: 2.6.16-4
Severity: important
Did an 'apt-get upgrade' this morning, saw nothing unusual and shut
down. On reboot, after LILO starts, we see:
boot
Loading linuxEBDA is big; kernel setup stack overlaps LILO second stage
.
...it hangs at the first dot. Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work.
To restore the system I restarted from a boot CD, mounted my Debian
partition 'read-write'**, did a 'chroot' and downgraded to v2.6.16-3. The
'reportbug' version # above has been hand-tweaked.
(**note to users: some boot CDs have 'mount' applets, but for safety
those tend to mount your HD read-only, and you might need to run
the command line 'mount', as root:
% mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 # detail vary with system!
...then run 'lilo'. HTH...)
