Bug#473075: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686: Won't boot, seems root fs not mounted

Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-4
Severity: normal

I installed the just arrived linux 2.6.24 image package on my desktop,
and tried rebooting it, with no success.

Boot procedure hangs with these messages (manual transcript from a
picture taken with my phone ;) :

mount: Mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.


BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
(initramfs) usb2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
hub 2-1:1.0: USB hub found
hub 2-1:1.0: 3 ports detected
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 2-1.2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
usb 2-1.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 2-1.3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
usb 2-1.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

(end of my picture nothing more than USB-related messages)

FYI, as I see something related to tty, I'm using a "Belkin Components
F1DF102U Flip KVM" switch to share screen and keybord (USB) between that
desktop and another system.

Hope this helps,

Thanks in advance for your help
