Debian Unstable won't boot on 2.6.15-1/grub/raid1

2006-03-22 Thread Robert Harris
  I have a system that runs root on raid.  There are currently 2 kernels installed in the system.  2.6.15-1 and 2.6.10-1.  If I boot up on 2.6.16-1 the system will say it can't findmy root filesystem on /dev/md0 and drop me into the busybox shell.  If I imediately drop into 2.6.10-1 it boots fine.
