Package: bootcd
Version: 2.47
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Note that I have previously successfully created working
CDs using bootcd on this installation; the following started
happening after an apt-get upgrade a couple of weeks ago.

When the created ISO is booted, it freezes up, and these
are the last messages on the screen:

pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

I have the kernel and initrd set correctly in bootcdwrite.conf.

Let me know if I can help by sending you my bootcdwrite.conf file
or the created ISO or parts of it.

Thanks in advance for any attention you can give this, and thanks 
for writing bootcd -- I have found it to be an extremely useful
utility.
