OK, so initramfs hasn't been able to find your root filesystem. I thought that generally resulted in the kernel panicking, but apparently not. I notice that you haven't told the kernel where your root filesystem is, though, so either autodetection hasn't worked or there is no autodetection. I would suggest adding "root=<device>" to the end of the "linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae ro" line, where "<device>" is any valid way of telling linux where the device is (so you could say /dev/sda1, LABEL=rootfs, UUID=1234-567... etc etc). If that works and you get into your system, re-run "sudo update-grub" to fix the grub configuration. > > Bye > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject > of "unsubscribe".
