Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-server

I updated yesterday to the latest version of 2.6.15-26-server: 2.6.15-26.47 .
When I rebooted today the system didn't boot, but gave a kernel panic:

[quote]
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
crc error
VFS: cannot open root device "md0" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[/quote]

root=/dev/md0

With the other kernel on my system:2-6-15-23 and the same parameters for
root etc. The system does boot. So it is not a problem with the syntax
in the grub menu entry.

It looks like the system can't find the raid md0 drive, possibly doesn't
initialize raid properly?

This is quite severe, since the only thing I did was sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade...
Fortunately I am running a non-production server, but these things may NEVER occur on a server distro.

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
