Bug#412139: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: Not booting. Hangs with message waiting for root
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After latest upgrade of 2.6.18-4-686 my machine stops booting when reasing to the message: Waiting for root.
The disk is found but just before finding disk on system I see this error message from udev: udevd[411]: Illegal subsystem (or something like that). Then complains of an error in /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules on line 61
I have tried to run update-initramfs -u -t -k 2.6.18-4-686 without any luck.
