After compiling a new kernel from 2.6.8-6 named 2.6.8-6i on Raven, i received error 127 before the actual final image stamp...
over and over.
I apt-get update && apt-get upgrade daily
I have two partitions with debian, Raven and Starfire with identical kernels.
This time i created on the bloated desktop partition, RAVEN instead of the minamalist kernel compiling and package testing compiling Starfire. IDENTICAL otherwise.
Raven is child of starfire. Anyway, i had not upgraded starfire last friday.
I needed a new kernel to get lirc working (serial must be modules) even though its not yet.
What was 2.6.8-6i got compiled in starfire as 2.6.8-6 (2.6.8-6i designating -6 debian and initrd already present starfire kernel as well)
----No problems. So I copied the source, remade symlink and unpacked fresh .deb. (Need the source for nvidia, ndiswrapper, captive, lirc ... modules)
Viola, no problems.
I went into starfire, and upgraded ... received kernel-package and two other small packages...tried it same error 127.
Well these funny errors always happen before a new stable pristine kernel release or final debianized kernel release
or well at least oopses at about 40% of these release dates from 2.6.3 to the present.
Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon or even got an error 127.
I compile every new one.
Oh yes, I'm debian sid (UNSTABLE)
Next time I stop autocleaning so I can go back and replace Kernel Package. Compare version releases to signify bug over and move on. Yup, thats a what Immaaa gonna do.
Learned something.
