Bug#401586: same problem

[toga <toga@inf.elte.hu>]

After the daily built i386 netinst CD couldn't find 
main/binary-i386/Packages on the CD (it was there!!!), i sent an 
installation report (#402219), and the next day (today) tried the daily 
built i386 businesscard CD 
(http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso).
The installation was successful (but i didn't see any graphical screen, 
the whole process went on textscreen), but the installaed system doesn't 
boot. GRUB works, but the boot stops sometimes after the line
"input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [ABBHOME] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.3",
sometimes 2 lines later:
"usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
 drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver",
and sometimes some more lines later:
"ahci 0000:03:00.0: AHCI 0001.0000 32 slots 2 ports 3 Gbps 0x3 impl ide

After a long pause it drops to a shell telling:
"Done.
         Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
         or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
 ALERT! /dev/sda2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

 Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

 /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
 (initramfs)  ".

I'm a newbie, for me it is chinese, but i understand that important 
devices are missing from /dev, for example sda2, which is my linux 
partition (all sda devices are missing).
First i thought, GRUB coudn't boot from a logical partition, so i 
installed Debian into a primary partition after a 21 GB ntfs boot 
partition, but it didn't help.

Any idea?


P.S.: I want to create a big extended partition after the linux partition, 
and to place every new partitions into it, so i didn't create swap 
partition for linux (becouse it creates only a little extended partition 
for it if it is a logical partition). Is it a problem? (I have 1 GB ram.)

By the way my system's parameters are:

Machine: custom (ASUS P5B Deluxe)
Processor: Core2 Duo 6400
Memory: 2x512MB 800MHz DDR2


 Thanks!
