I upgraded from vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-mckinley to linux-image-3.2.0-2-itanium
yesterday.

Start-Date: 2012-05-03 10:43:33
Commandline: apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-2-itanium
Install: firmware-linux-free:ia64 (3, automatic),
linux-image-3.2.0-2-itanium:ia64 (3.2.15-1)
Upgrade: libklibc:ia64 (1.5.20-1+squeeze1, 2.0~rc3-1), klibc-utils:ia64
(1.5.20-1+squeeze1, 2.0~rc3-1), linux-base:ia64
(2.6.32-41squeeze2, 3.5), initramfs-tools:ia64 (0.98.8, 0.102)
End-Date: 2012-05-03 10:44:54

When I tried to boot the new kernel it freezed completely. I replaced
busybox with /bin/busybox in the initrd.img as suggested by Ã?meric and
it fixed this bug on my Powerdege 7250.

# uname -a
Linux debian 3.2.0-2-itanium #1 SMP Sun Apr 15 17:53:42 UTC 2012 ia64
GNU/Linux

ia64 provide /usr/lib/klibc/bin/sh instead of sh.shared like other
architectures?


#439181 Â*ia64 works only static


Thanks for pointing this out.


I'd also be interested to hear how /usr/lib/klibc/bin/sh behaves in
general: e.g., could you try

Â* Â* Â* ldd /usr/lib/klibc/bin/sh
Â* Â* Â* /usr/lib/klibc/bin/sh -c 'echo hi'

?


/me too.


Okay, okay, your wish is my command ;-)

emeric@longspeak:~$ ldd /usr/lib/klibc/bin/sh
not a dynamic executable


The above seems to be the most recent message in the bug log, other
than a "me too" a few weeks ago. Has there been any progress towards
getting this resolved? Unless I'm missing something, it sounds like a
fairly large blocker to using Debian on ia64.


Regards,

Adam
