Package: debian-installer Severity: important I installed Debian testing using debian-LennyBeta2-amd64-netinst.iso using lvm2 over raid1.
On the first reboot after the install, the initrd failed to mount the root partition and dumped me into a shell. I eventually figured out that the kernel command line had root=fe00 (so it wanted the root partition on device major=254,minor=0), but that my root was actually on major=253,minor=0. (So I fixed it by booting with root=fd00; then once I was inside Linux, I reran LILO, and that fixed the problem permanently.) I don't remember exactly what I did during the install process, but I may have started to use an LVM partitioning before I decided to go for LVM-over-RAID. So perhaps the LVM module got loaded first, and grabbed major=254; but when I rebooted, RAID got major=254 and LVM got major=253. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
