Do you mount your filesystems by label?
I can change my fstab so that the kernel boots (by replacing the LABEL=
things with device names) but it should work this way and it does with
2.6 kernels and used to work with a knoppix kernel until I booted a 2.6
kernel.
IMHO it is not a configuration problem if it works with everything I
tried except 2.4 debian kernels.
I have this problem on two systems which I installed like this:
- run debootstrap from knoppix, use the knoppix kernel
- upgrade to testing
- install a debian kernel
