Package: extlinux Version: 2:4.02+dfsg-2 Severity: serious Tags: patch When installing a new kernel, extlinux does not add a corresponding entry to the syslinux menu.
If you also happen to remove the last kernel that in your syslinux menu at the same time, then you are left with an unbootable system, hence RC severity. The same bug exists for removing kernels but this is not as bad. Patch attached. Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org `-
