Package: initramfs-tool
Version: 0.53c
After installing etch using a usb harddisk, it seems there is a problem
at the boottime as /dev/sda1 takes to long to be detected and when root
wants to mount it hasn't been detected yet.
According to mail from Maximilian Attems I tried:
a)
echo 'echo "udev: all devices should be up."' >>
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/udev
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.15-1-486 (was this needed?)
without any difference. Still fails. After eliminating the previous
change I tried
b)
echo 'sleep 0.5' >> /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/udev
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.15-1-486 (was this needed?)
without any difference either. Still fails.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux Etch, kernel 2.6.15-1-486 and planning to
upgrade to sid soon.
cheers,
Carlos Villegas

udev 0.093-1 is in testing, initramfs-tools 0.69b, 2.6.15-1-486
should is superseeded by 2.6.16-1-486 or better in unstable
2.6.17-1-486.
so thanks for your feedback, closing your report.
