Bug#412139: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: Not booting. Hangs with message waiting for root
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Made an important discovery today. If I create an initrd image with
yaird my system boots. My best guess is that this bug is not related to
the linux-image but to mkinitramfs, so this bug should be forwarded to
initramfs-tools:
$ dpkg -s initramfs-tools
Package: initramfs-tools
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 372
Maintainer: Debian kernel team <debian-kernel@lists.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Version: 0.85e
$ dpkg -s yaird
Package: yaird
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 636
Maintainer: Yaird Team <yaird-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Version: 0.0.12-18
From what I have been able to find out it seems like mounting the disks
fails and therefore the command to shift root from the initrd image to
the root on my disks hangs forever.
If my observations holds I would mean this should cause the level
raised from important to severe?
