Updated to new linux kernel (package linux-3.1.9-2) yesterday. Upon switching on today, the system would not boot.
GRUB loaded the kernel & initial RAMDISK and displayed the message about unpacking the kernel image and the result was 'OK', then nothing.....
Using install CD and linux 3.1.6 package from the mirror server, I have reverted back to a working system.
Any clues as to what is wrong?

A few experiments later......
The previous package, linux-3.1.9-1 works fine. I assume this is a packaging change to bump the -1 to -2?
I have also tried rebuilding the -2 package via 'abs'. Still fails.

Perhaps downloading from another mirror will solve the difficvulty?

I doubt the package is at fault - as I said before I built it for myself.
From my study of the package history - there is some mention of a 'libarchive' change, though I couldn't see exactly what this was. I notice libarchive is currently marked as obsolete, perhaps when the updated package is pased to 'core' (currently in testing) the problem will go away?
