Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-25-k7

after the update to linux-image-2.6.15-25-k7 my computer does not boot.
(grub comes up then after selecting the kernel there is only a blank screen, nothing happens)
With linux-image-2.6.15-23-k7 it´s just fine.

It´s possibly only me but may not.

I do not use usplash, instead i use a framebuffer console for bootup.
I do not know which information are required to complete this bugreport, so just tell me i will provide the information.

I have ticked the "This bug is a security issue" because this is after a security update. If this is wrong just change it.

Can you try booting without framebuffer to see if there is any output?
Nothing should have specifically caused this, so I need to know what's
going on.

Thank you very much for your very fast reply.

I have an other ubuntu installed on an other partition (my backup system) where the new kernel boots just fine.

After investigation i found out it´s _all and only_ my fault.

The mistake was a wrong grub entry.

So exuse me please for for this mistake and wasting your time.

I set the bugreport to resolved.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.15:
status: Unconfirmed → Rejected

As it seems in 9 of 10 times the regression is only on my side.
So no need to be worried because this is my first bugreport this week. :)

Again excuse me and thank you
