Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc
Version: 2.6.8-16
Severity: important
I found this kernel not to been able to boot properly (after an
upgrade from the rc3 sarge kernel).
The boot process does not complete (breaks quite early) and keeps on
cycling displaying the following messages (copied by hand):
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Kernel can not convert a name into a device number
Check your 'root=' argument passed on boot by bootloader.
initrd-tools: 0.1.80
/sbin/init: 360: cannot open bin/root: No such file
umount: bin: not mounted
/sbin/init: 362: cannot create proc/sys/kernel-root-dev: Directory
nonexistent
cat: proc/cmdline: No such file or directory
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe this bug to be specific to sid but it has to be checked
again (having upgraded -- from a fresh new install -- my only powerpc
machine to sid, I cannot check it anymore for pure sarge).
Below is my (default) /etc/yaboot.conf :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
## yaboot.conf generated by debian-installer
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you have!!
## see also: /usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples for example configurations.
##
## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:
## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ
boot=/dev/hda2
device=/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:
partition=3
root=/dev/hda3
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
enablecdboot
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
image=/boot/vmlinux.old
label=old
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img.old
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Kernel-2.6.8 corresponds to old. Linux is now kernel-2.6.11 that boots
properly with given settings.
Thanks and best regards,

Using (current) initrd-tools version 0.1.81.1 for a
dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc
solved the problem.
