Bug#290474: I can't boot 2.6.8 and 2.6.10 kernels on my system, while 2.6.7 starts without problems

Hi,

I can't boot 2.6.8 and 2.6.10 kernels on my system while 2.6.7 was
installed on same system and starts without problems few months ago.

I got the same error like others - cannot open dev/console, preceded
by a message from pivot_root which does not found the root partition.

I use grub and xfs file system on SATA drive (hde) on system with
Athlon (k7) CPU.

Tried several initrd versions (0.1.77, 0.1.76, 0.1.73, 0.1.67), but
without success :( AFAIK when I installed 2.6.7 kernel, then
initrd-tools version 0.1.67 were installed on my system and initrd was
generated corectly, this kernel starts without problems.

It seems bugs 290474 and 271038 are related - in both cases kernel
doesn't start with message "cannot open dev/console: No such file"

I can send initrd, generated when I install kernel-image 2.6.8 and
2.6.10, which doesn't start.
