If the kernel cannot find any partitions, it could be because any of the following configuration options are missing : - disk controller handling (depends on your hardware) - disk handling (BLK_DEV_SD as sdb is an SCSI-style disk) - partition table handling (usually MSDOS_PARTITION on PC) > So you are running two systems one with udev and one without? Yes. The only useful udev feature I needed on that system was firmware loading, but I implemented it with a simple shell script as /sbin/hotplug. > If so, on the one without did you populate /dev by hand? No, the static /dev was populated by default. > On the one with udev what does your grub.cfg entry look like? Nothing worth mentionning, I guess. Just root=/dev/sda1 on the kernel command line. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
