Bug#426712: linux-image-2.6.21-1-686

[Peter Wood <p2wood@uwaterloo.ca>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.21-1-686
Version: 2.6.21-4

System setup: Debian unstable, Reiser FS
Problem: After installing the package with dpkg and having the inird 
image automatically generated by mkinitrd, rebooting stops with the 
message: "Waiting for root file system" after loading the kernel. I did 
not make any changes to the grub configuration or fstab. Booting into 
the old kernel (2.6.18) works without problems.

Fix: Creating the initrd image with yaird instead of mkinitrd fixed the 
problem for me.

I hope this message ends up at the right place. Please forward it as you 
  see appropriate.

Best,

Peter
