Bug#403191: Problems with initramfs-tools and xen.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85c
The situation and all history:
I have PC with at least 2 hard disks:
One disk - sata on ICH6, and other - SCSI on some Adaptec SCSI PCI
controler.
The operating system is placed on SATA disk and runs from it.
So till I used 2.6.18-3-amd64 linux kernel and yaird tool to generate
initrd image - all was fine.
But I desided to run xen kernel image (2.6.18-3-xen-amd64), and
installed it. As dependency it installed
initramfs-tools to generate initrd images, and instalation process
regenerated all
active initrd images on system.
And affter all system does not reboot at all and I was in wery bad
situation.
( in general not so bad for me only because I leaved some old kernels
and initrd images and I was
able to boot these ones).
The problem is that initramfs-tools generates bad initrd images, and
on system boot
the SCSI disk for some reason becomes sda, and SATA disk - sdb, and
kernel does not find
root file system at all.
I try to find way to change this using config files - but without success.
I don't fing even how to change config to force to use yaird for not
xen initrd images generation.
Best regards,
Tomas Martišius
