Package: linux-image
Version: 2.6.23-1-amd64
my kernel does not create /dev/sda1 (root) on boot. grub loads from
the same hd and, sometimes, the system works fine, but in most of'em i
fall into busybox and have only /dev/hda (cdrom).
I changed the /dev/name by UUID= at grub and fstab.
I placed some sata modules
(scsi_mod,sd_mod,libata,sata_nv,ahci,ata_piix) at
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules.
Booted with 'noapic' and/or 'acpi=off' options.
...None of it worked.
Its an Acer Aspire 7520 BR Laptop
