Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-amd64
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I have installed Debian Sarge on a four-way Opteron HE box. The install went
smoothly, and the default kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 package seems to work fine.
One of the first things I did was to install an
Opteron-optimised, SMP kernel-image, kernel-image-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8-smp. This
gave a Machine Check Exception on boot:
I have tried kernel-image-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 which also gives a Machine Check
Exception, and kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386 which just hangs at "Calculating Delay
Loop".
