Package: linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7
Version: 2.6.14-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
After installing linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7 grub had only wrong entries.
For example
Instead of hda(0,8) hda(0,7) was in the grub config file. And also:
Instead:
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.14-2-k7 root=/dev/hda9 ro
there was:
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.14-2-k7 root=/dev/hda8 ro
This was for all 3 kernels I have ever installed including this. Only
the winxp entry at the end of the menu.lst (the name of my grub
conffile) was not affected. Until I corrected this, the system was not
bootable so I think that severity: critical, breaks the whole system is
the right one, cause until I corrected it, no kernel version was able to
boot.
The output of my partition table is:
Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 4 765 6120765 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 766 19457 150143490 f W95 Ext'd
(LBA)
/dev/hda5 766 5227 35840983+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda6 5228 14711 76180198+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda7 14712 17484 22274091 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda8 17485 18358 7020373+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 18359 19209 6835626 83 Linux
/dev/hda10 19210 19457 1992028+ 82 Linux swap /
You should know, that linux (including the kernel) is installed on
hda9, but a few important directorys are chanced with symlinks to hda8
(e.g. home). The kernel itself is on hda9.
Another strang bug, is that if winxp is the first entry in grub, than it
will removed after an "aptitude install linux...."
Cheers,
Stefan

I am closing this bug for now, feel free to reopen it if you disagree.
As far as I can see this is normal behaviour, if you want the windows
entry to be the first it has to be put before the start tag:
### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
The thing about the wrong drive number, well it seems that the groot
option was wrong, and update grub did work as intended.
