What device is your rootfs on?

I'm booting with root on /dev/sdb (the external sd card) and that seems
ok. My internal sdcard is knackered so I can't test but I think the
controllers etc are the same. (not posting my dmesg because it is mostly
sda failure spew).

Some potentially interesting package versions from my system for
comparison:
ii  linux-image-3.16-2-kirkwood             3.16.3-2                 armel                    Linux 3.16 for Marvell Kirkwood
ii  linux-image-kirkwood                    3.16+61                  armel                    Linux for Marvell Kirkwood (meta-package)
ii  initramfs-tools                         0.116                    all                      generic modular initramfs generator
ii  flash-kernel                            3.25                     armel                    utility to make certain embedded devices bootable

I have MODULES=dep via /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy (which
overrides /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf). This is normal for an
armel system.

My command line is "console=ttyS0,115200n8 rootwait root=/dev/sdb2".
Since /dev/sd[ab] are on a USB bus perhaps rootwait is what makes the
difference?
