Your previous mention indicated you would expect "/dev/sda6" to be there. I'm guessing prior to wheezy, when you were using BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC, you would have been seeing "/dev/hda6" listed as the root device? -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sig...@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445
