How is the root disk attached (SATA, PATA, USB)?
The disk is SATA2
Have you tried using the 'rootdelay=N' parameter (N is number of seconds to wait for the root device to be ready) to the kernel command line?
I've tried 'rootdelay=15' and indeed, this was enought for allowing the computer to boot. But this leads to some questions :
1) is this the correct behavior ? I'm booting debian on this PC since the 2.6.39 kernel (maybe older ?), and I've never encountered this problem…
2) should I fear before upgrading other computers ? How could I check if this regression can happen ?
Thanks for the help and the support. -- Sébastien Dailly
