Bug#279979: debian-installer: on reboot, get segfault and error pivot_root: no such file or directory

[Shri Shrikumar <shri@kraya.co.uk>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: debian-install
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

I just installed debian using the sarge-netinst iso image and the whole
process went through without any problems. However, on reboot the kernel
segfaults with the following two error messages

pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/sonsole: No such file or directory

Please note that the above is manually copied so may be a bit imprecise

Please feel free to get in touch should you have any queries.

Shri
