I have created a new initial ramdisc and got the same error as above. My main confusion is: How will developers debug this issue? I could set up a serial console for logging debug output but is this the right way? I definitely not have destroyed my system because of not enough knowledge. I have simply updated my Kernel using the graphical update tool. Okay, i have installed many packages from other repositories but not kernel related and i hope no system related packages... ;-) Could someone give me a hint how i could find out what the problem is or should i post a bugreport? Sorry, i never have posted kernel related bugs in the last years. I am really interested how things are handled the right way, before posting things to bugzilla that aren't bugs, or where i can get more information about the problem before posting?
