Bit more testing and I've merely gotten rid of more causes. Tried booting with an older 2.6.18 kernel from etch that I had handy. Problem still occurred. Tried booting the current kernel while passing the the root device via the kernel command-line ("root=/dev/sda1"), problem still occurred.
Currently my list of potentially suspect other packages is mount and udev. I haven't figured out where the "magical" step of modifying the kernel's mount tab to report "/dev/sda1" instead of "/dev/root" occured. I'm pretty sure it used to be happening, I just don't know where... I am pretty sure this does require a non-initrd kernel. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | e...@gremlin.m5p.com PGP F6B23DE0 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 2477\___\_|_/DC21 03A0 5D61 985B <-PGP-> F2BE 6526 ABD2 F6B2\_|_/___/3DE0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
