Control: tag -1 moreinfo I'm unable to reproduce the numeric root in /etc/mtab. I tried using lilo with a non-UUID root, using the Debian packaged kernel and then with a custom kernel with no initramfs. In both cases I see / mounted from /dev/root and that device node does exist. I also tested using both systemd and sysvinit. In all cases /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts (as both init systems create it). - Did you boot from an initramfs before running update-initramfs? - Which init system are you using, and which version of it? - Is /etc/mtab a regular file or symlink?
