Re: kernel 2.6.22-4 (Waiting for root filesystem)
Mark,
Thanks for your suggestions. It was my misconfigured initramfs.conf
that caused the error. The post-install script that made the initrd
image used that configuration and didn't put there the kernel module
for reiserfs as well as other useful stuff, which I discovered when
unpacked the image. To repair that it was enough to just put
MODULES=most into initramfs.conf and rerun update-initramfs. I wonder
whether it would be safer for the apt-get script that generates the
initrd image to use a fixed configuration rather than the local one
for update-initramfs.
