That was my assumption, that I must have done something wrong and running lilo once more would fix the problem. >> I observed that the 253 major was the proper one under the rescue >> environment, so probably since update-initramfs and lilo were ran from >> the rescue environment, > > Again, sounds like a user error... How is it user error when I try to update the initramfs and rerun lilo from the rescue environment? I *wasn't* manually assigning that major number, nor did I pass "root=fd00" in lilo.conf. So, how is this *user* error? >> Note that after I did one more update initrd - lilo - reboot cycle the >> hack in the scripts/local wasn't used anymore, which makes me believe >> even more that the environment in which the initrd update/lilo run is >> done impacts the correct creation of /dev/root in the initrd >> environment. > > Hm, maybe there is something worthy to reassign to initramfs-tools, but maybe > this should just be closed? I'll try to reproduce the issue today when I get to work, now that I know how to fix it (and have a backup initrd with the hack). -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
