I used yaird as initrd, because in the early 2.6.12 days, initramfs was not available because of a missing klibc on the alpha platform. Because of this bug I switched to initramfs now.
During a disk restructuring I copied my root filesystem from /dev/sda3 (old scsi) to /dev/sdb2 (sata). As usual I changed fstab and run mkinitrd again, which worked. The problem with yaird was now, that it correctly detected, that the root device was on /dev/sdb and added the SATA drivers to the initrd. After reboot it loaded ONLY the sata driver which made my root disk /dev/sda. But when trying to mount the root file system yaird insisted in mounting /dev/sdb2. Fixing this by things like "root=/dev/sda2" (because of this bug) or "init=/bin/sh" did not work. My only possibility was to boot from installer CD, and fix it from there. ----- Uwe Schindler H.-H.-Meier-Allee 63, D-28213 Bremen http://www.thetaphi.de eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
