Bug#340759: doesn't honour root=, fails when disk changes from /dev/hda to /dev/hdc
Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.11-12
Severity: important
I installed Debian on /dev/hda2, then moved this disk to the 2nd IDE
channel (/dev/hdc), put in another disk as /dev/hda and installed
Debian on /dev/hda3 (/dev/hda2 is swap now). I mounted /dev/hdc2 and
fixed /etc/fstab, then I booted from hdc2 but yaird still tried to
mount hd_a_2 - and obviously failed. Booting 2.4 with an initrd
generated by initrd-tools works. yaird should really take the root=
parameter into account.
