RE: Ultra1 does not boot after kernel upgrade to 2.6.26
Hi,
I resolved the issue by replacing module esp by sun_esp. Ultra1 now enjoys full upgrade to lenny. Fantastic, since this is really old machine.
Thanks for all your replies,
Cheers,
Donatas

Hi Donatas
If you use UUIDs inside /etc/fstab instead of the raw
device names you may have joy?
e.g. ls -l /dev/disks/by-uuid and find the UUID of /dev/sda1
Then replace /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab with UUID=<the_uuid_of_sda1>
