Hi all,
I've installed a new Dell poweredge 850 server with SCSCI disks
formated as ext3 from a netinstall, it run smoothly and installed the
2.6.12-i386 kernel image. After the aptitude dist-upgrade, I upgraded
the linux-image to the 2.6.15-686 and also to 2.6.15-686-smp (having
with both the same result) and when I reboot the machine it displays
the following errors:
Alert! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
and a busybox shell appears. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Try run level 1. I had a problem upgrading from kernel-image-2.6.8 to
linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 in Etch. The image was only half installed. I
could not boot normally, but I could boot from Grub in recovery mode
(run level 1). After supplying the root password for maintenance, I
tried to install again. apt-get failed at first, but suggested
apt-get -f install
This did the trick. (I have found that apt-get will work even when
aptitude occasionally gets confused - perhaps that helped too.)
Hth,
Chris.
