Bug#636123: "fixed" the problem: broken/missing dependency

July 31st, 2011 - 09:40 am ET by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton | Report spam
ok - i've established the cause of the failure: incorrect dependencies
in linux-image-2.6.39-2-amd64. the most likely candidate which is the
broken/missing dependency i am guessing isn't grub or lvm2, but
probably libdevmapper.

but - looking in /var/lib/dpkg/info with ls -altr shows the list of
last-installed packages, any one of which could have been the
candidate which "fixed" the problem.

This is not relevant. The kernel does not depend on a userland library.

Previously you wrote:
** Kernel log: boot messages should be attached
not possible. very simple: no root filesystem found. ergo, kernel panic.
works absolutely fine on 2.6.32 standard debian kernel.



It is neither 'not possible' nor 'very simple'. Send us the messages.

Ben.
