device names are not stable.
use UUID as bootarg if you need a reliable root.
closing as not a bug.
I don't think that's a very good answer!
1) This problem renders the machine unusable on an upgrade from a pretty
stock Etch. That's a BAD THING!
2) Correct me if I'm wrong, but using the UUID is not going to help if
/dev/sda doesn't exist. IDE works, SATA does not.
I still have both virtual disks and can mount one or the other and poke
around to provide more data, as needed.
Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
