First boot after fresh install fails
Sorry, that was too quick.
Dear list-subscribers,
this is my first attempt at Linux, so pls bear with me.
After doing a faultless fresh install on the second internal HD, all attempts at booting debian failed at the same stage. All answers I found elsewhere were from different setups, and I'm still to new to Linux to interpret them right.
Here's the case:
Power Mac G5 (11,2), dual 2.3 GHz, 5,5 GB RAM, HD1 OSX 10.5.8, HD2 Debian GNU/Linux 7.2.0 "Wheezy"

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/7c5b94c3-f4e5-4bd1… does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Assuming the solution to be ultimately trivial, I still need your detailed help to move on with it.
