Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386 Version: 2.6.8-16 Severity: important
I am currently running kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386 on this up-to-date Debian Sarge system. That kernel seems to run fine. I attempted to upgrade to kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386, but it fails to boot and does not appear to even get as far as mounting /. These seem like the relevant messages: /scripts/ext3-add-journal.sh: 27: arith: syntax error: "0x" /sbin/init: 426: arith: syntax error: "0x" Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! but I don't know what scrolled out of sight first. Obviously I had to copy them down by hand. Not finding it on the system, I mounted the initrd files and found a script named ext3-add-journal.sh, which I presume is the problem. They are clearly different between the two kernel versions but the syntax error doesn't make any obvious sense just from an inspection of the script. Any help or pointers for further investigation would be appreciated.
