Update Squeeze

[int21h]

Hey,

after upgrading our debian server from lenny to squeeze, the server
fails to start. (see picture from vnc console). Any hints?

Regards,

Edit:
the problem exists with the following kernel:

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 root=UUID=4453c817-9ec4-4773-836e-abb9664c57b1 ro quiet
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64

with the old one .. everthing's ok

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=UUID=4453c817-9ec4-4773-836e-abb9664c57b1 ro quiet
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64

When I created our autoinstaller for Squeeze, I had a problem with their installer that was related to the detection of the network card in Xen, but I don't think I had this one, so it's a bit of a mystery to me. From the error that you're getting, it does sound like the issue may be with their kernel's Xen support somehow, although it also could be a more general non-Xen-specific issue with the upgrade process going awry.

Are you able to back up your files and start fresh with an autoinstalled copy of Squeeze?

At the moment, a fresh installation is too much effort
I think we will wait for some kernel updates and then give it another try.

Thanks.

Ok. I hope they fix it!

I tested with my default autoinstalled version of Squeeze with all the latest updates, and it still works, which is interesting. It also claimed to be using vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64.

If they have a non-Xen kernel package, that might also work. Or, you could try compiling your own, and fiddle with the options. (This could also be a problem with a support library, though.)
