I put together a brand new Etch install today, which was working

upgrade prior to the last reboot and now its hanging on the startup with
the message 'waiting on root file system'. If I try recovery mode, its
the same. I've also tried noapic, nolapic, with no effect. Has anyone
heard of this error recently? I'm not at the computer atm, or I would
put in some more details like the kernel version. The best I can say is
it is the most current 'testing' 486 kernel, as I installed an updated
all this today. I suspect its something like 2.6.15.?-486. Any ideas
or comments would be appreciated.

I had this problem as well. When you do an upgrade make sure to upgrade
udev as well. Initramfs-tools is the package that screws things up.
Personally I think it should pull in udev as well, but it doesnt. So be
sure to upgrade udev and it will eliminate this problem.

Thanks for the input on that. Googling around, I had started to think
the problem was initramfs-tools related, but I hadn't found a specific
course of action. I've been trying to think of how I'm going to get
into the system to fix it. I suppose the only way is to chroot in, and
upgrade udev that way? Would that be correct?
