Bug#289679: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 pivot_root failture
I too am getting this problem, but with a PC using nothing but IDE drives.
I suspect that the trouble stems from the fact I'm trying to set up a RAID1
mirror as my root disk.
I've tried using "mkinitrd" and adding "md" and "raid1" to the
/etc/mkinitrd/modules.conf file, but no change.
The 2.4 kernel (that comes on the "testing" install CD) works fine. A
comparison of the two boot sequences hasn't told me anything significant
yet, but here is what I've noted:
- the 2.6 kernel finds 8 hard drives (correct) but the 2.4 kernel finds
only 4 because it does not recognize the extra PCI IDE controller card.
- both show md starding and md0 started with 2 disks in a RAID1 setup.
I'm going to try to turn on command-echo for the "init" script on the initrd
and see if that tells me anything more. I'll let you know what I find.
