-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm trying to migrate to debian for the upcoming Etch release. I'm currently using Ubuntu.
The only thing holding me back is the kernel will panic as / is absent. My partition layout: /dev/hda ( internal HD ) /dev/hda1 NTFS ( windows ) /dev/hda2 EXT3 ( /boot ) /dev/hda3 linux-swap /dev/sda ( external HD, USB 2.0 (UHCI) ) /dev/sda1 EXT3( / ) /dev/sda2 extended /dev/sda5 FAT32 ( shared space for moving files with drive ) In ubuntu, it works fine (and I can use UUIDs no less!). I've tried using this: root=UUID=f7b53c4d-6f56-4e99-94fb-ae66d975f167 and also this: root=/dev/sda1 Both fail. Is this due to the kernel version? Ubuntu is running 2.6.17-10 Any suggestions? I REQUIRE / to be on the external drive. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFmYP6Of/+DfRMQCwRAp++AJ0ZTOLz35V34ctrgQQQ2zK0jxdWrACgn805 4c3vtobixdQ5pyT+f5mnEpU= =GH7q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
