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

right the kernel never guaranteed device ordering for such you have
to use UUID in fstab, closing.
