Solution
- Upgrade the kernel package immediately and reboot the machine. If you have built a custom kernel from the kernel source package, you will need to rebuild to take advantage of these fixes. The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture fix the problems mentioned above : Debian 3.1 (sarge) Source 2.6.8-16sarge2 Alpha architecture 2.6.8-16sarge2 AMD64 architecture 2.6.8-16sarge2 HP Precision architecture 2.6.8-6sarge2 Intel IA-32 architecture 2.6.8-16sarge2 Intel IA-64 architecture 2.6.8-14sarge2 Motorola 680x0 architecture 2.6.8-4sarge2 PowerPC architecture 2.6.8-12sarge2 IBM S/390 architecture 2.6.8-5sarge2 Sun Sparc architecture 2.6.8-15sarge2 The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for compatibility with or to take advantage of this update : Debian 3.1 (sarge) kernel-latest-2.6-alpha 101sarge1 kernel-latest-2.6-amd64 103sarge1 kernel-latest-2.6-hppa 2.6.8-1sarge1 kernel-latest-2.6-sparc 101sarge1 kernel-latest-2.6-i386 101sarge1 kernel-latest-powerpc 102sarge1 fai-kernels 1.9.1sarge1 hostap-modules-i386 0.3.7-1sarge1 mol-modules-2.6.8 0.9.70+2.6.8+12sarge1 ndiswrapper-modules-i386 1.1-2sarge1 This update introduces a change in the kernel's binary interface, the affected kernel packages inside Debian have been rebuilt, if you're running local addons you'll need to rebuild these as well. Due to the change in the package name you need to use apt-get dist-upgrade to update your system.
