Package: initramfs-tools
Severity: normal

Upgrading from kernel-image-2.4.27-3-686 to linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 might
break boot if /dev/hdb becomes /dev/sda.  As fstab and menu.lst aren't changed,
boot will hang when trying to mount root fs.

Is there any way in which initrd could handle this?  Or at least gracefuly
report that the root param is wrong (currently it just hangs on "Waiting for
root device").

Closes: 374611 426395 427837 427838 429144
Changes: 
 initramfs-tools (0.89) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   Release "L'électeur c'est notoire N'a pas tout' sa raison"
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * mkinitramfs: Include libgcc_s.so.1 on arm since glibc always tries to load
     it for the SJLJ exception handling on that architecture. (closes: #426395)
     Thanks to Aurelien Jarno for ack and review.
 .
   [ maximilian attems ]
   * initramfs.conf.5: Document ROOT hardcoding.
   * scripts/local: Use simpler fstype invocation.
   * initramfs-tools.8, initramfs.conf.5: Fix typos. (closes: #427837, #427838)
     Thanks "A. Costa" <agcosta@gis.net> for the patch.
   * scripts/local: Try to warn for renamed root dev. (closes: #374611)
   * minitramfs: Fall back to bootable default MODULES=most if unsupported
     MODULES setting is passed. Thanks Henning Sprang <henning_sprang@gmx.de>
     for report. (closes: #429144)
   * hook-functions: Fix variable typo. Thanks Emanuele Rocca <ema@debian.org>.
   * scripts/local: Revert change to use udev vol_id before fstype,
     there are too many "wrongly" formated fs out there. fstype supports less,
     but is more robust.
