When I upgraded my system several weeks ago I went to boot into the new
kernel and got messages like the following:
device /sys/block/sda/sda5/dev no such file or directory
devise /sys/block/sda/sda5/dev seems to be down
/bin/mknod missing operand after 'b'
then it ends with kernel panic not syncing.
I have been updating daily to see if a new kernel was released and as
far as I can tell none has.
Hi Barbara
I had a problem like this on an amd64 booting on a sata drive, it turned
out the solution was to mount the drives using labels, the scsi stack
has had some re-ordering lately, because of the order of recognition of
various devices during the bootup phase.
