    Hi, all.

    I had some trouble installing linux-image-2.6.12-1-686... it
    said I needed a newer udev. So I installed a newer udev,
    and linux-image-2.6.12-1-686 wouldn't install. Then udev
    wouldn't start, because it said my 2.6.11 wasn't good enough,
    so I lost access to my USB drive.

      http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324550

    Anyhow, I eventually discovered that linux-image-2.6.12-1-686
    needs a newer e2fsprogs to build its initrd. So I upgraded
    to the latest e2fsprogs (1.38-1.1), and linux-image was
    happy and I rebooted and got my USB drive back.

    So this is solved, at least for me. I did update the bug
    report with my workaround and hopefully all the maintainer
    will have to do is update the 'Depends:'

    Best Regards,

    Tony
