Bug Description
Upgrading using aptitude, after having replaced occurences of breezy in the repository list with dapper.
modprobe had gotten stuck in an infinite loop during pcmcia-cs startup (process '/etc/init.
Until a hard crash when starting acpi.
Naturally, now a half upgraded system that won't boot.
At the time i had the vmware modules loaded, but no virtual machines running. this is the free vmware server recently released.
Luckily I'm an advanced enough user that I can get around this with boot cds, dpkg foo and other such things. So I am making progress in getting back to a system that even boots.
