I have a Dell Optiplex computer with a SATA hard drive. Kernel 2.4 works
OK with the disk in non-SATA mode. Kernel 2.6 panics on booting with
the message /dev/console not found, preceded by a message from pivot_root
which does not found the root partition.
I tried both SATA modes in the BIOS: combination, or normal.
I tried root=/dev/hda5 or root=/dev/sda5 in the Grub menu.lst file.
I tried to omit initrd in this file.
I tried root=probe, point to /dev/hda5 in initrd, or root=/dev/sda5.
Note that /dev/[hs]da5 is in XFS mode.

The initrd-tools package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/393092 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
