Bug#542912: linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64: 2.6.30 only boots when I sacrifice a goat - waiting for root dev
Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.30-5
Severity: important
linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 boots fine.
In linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64 somehow the device discovery at boot time is
messed up:
I have
/dev/sda: 750.2 GB, 750155292160 bytes
/dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
/dev/hda: 400.1 GB, 400088457216 bytes
+ a sata dvd burner.
2.6.30 now finds most of the time, that /dev/hda
should be /dev/sda and /dev/sda -> /dev/sdb....
and therefore booting fails with "waiting for root dev"
