Bug#580214: linux-image-2.6.32-5: cannot mount (or fsck) a usb disk at boot time
Package: linux-source-2.6.32
Version: 2.6.32-12
Severity: normal
Tags: sid
A second hard disk is installed on my computer as an external usb device.
Since the last kernel update (either using an official debian kernel-image
or a locally compiled kernel from debian sources), mounting of this disk
at boot time fails. (If /etc/fdisk indicates an fsck pass 2, this fails
as well, putting the system into single-user mode.)
It appears that the disk detection is now loaded after mount attempts
to handle the disk - perhaps usb_storage (I'm only guessing here)
is no longer included in the initrd?
Once the system is booted, mounting of the disk works fine.
This is a minor error, but such a configuration (created using the
debian-installer) should work "out of the box" without having to
adjust the configuration of initramfs or other tools.
Thanks.
