Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-mckinley Version: 2.6.26-3 Severity: normal linux-image-2.6.25-2-mckinley does boot normally on this platform.
The physical hardware is an HP Integrity rx3600 running HP-UX 11.23 (0712) with Integrity Virtual Machines 3.5 (http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/262803-0-0-225-121.html). The virtual machine has 2 virtual CPUs, 2 Gbytes of RAM, a virtual DVD ROM drive, and a single 32Gbyte virtual disk drive containing the Debian installation. The kernel fails to start after the initrd has been loaded by ELILO. Console output is as follows: [begin console output] EFI Boot Manager ver 1.10 [14.62] [Build: Mon Oct 1 09:27:26 2007] Please select a boot option Debian GNU/Linux EFI Shell [Built-in] Boot option maintenance menu Use ^ and v to change option(s). Use Enter to select an option Loading.: Debian GNU/Linux Starting: Debian GNU/Linux ELILO Uncompressing Linux... done Loading file \EFI\debian\initrd.img...done [end console output. No further messages after approximately 5 minutes] When running on the linux-image-2.6.25-2-mckinley image, lspci produces the following output: [begin lspci ouput] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci 00:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 07) 00:01.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 07) 00:03.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82372FB PIIX5 ISA (rev 01) 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller 07:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [end lspci output] This does not appear to be a simple case of the console not being properly connected. A linux-image-2.6.25-2-mckinley kernel does boot OK. If there were simply no console attached, I'd expect this machine to have a running network in under 2 minutes. Five minutes of pinging it with linux-image-2.6.26-1-mckinley gets no response and the host system believes that the VM is still running the EFI, not the Linux kernel. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: ia64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-mckinley (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.26-1-mckinley depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.92f tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.4-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo linux-image-2.6.26-1-mckinley recommends no packages.
