Re: Debian Unstable won't boot on 2.6.15-1/grub/raid1

  2.6.15-1 and 2.6.10-1.  If I boot up on 2.6.16-1 the system will say it
can't find
my root filesystem on /dev/md0 and drop me into the busybox shell.  If I
imediately drop into 2.6.10-1 it boots fine.  2.6.15-1 configuration looks
good.
The only odd part is it seems that the md devices are actually initialized
after
grub tries to boot them.  Once i get the busybox prompt I get the md startup
output.

Do you use udev rules to ensure a consistent naming of your devices?
Otherwise Kernel 2.6.15 is much less predictable than 2.6.10, and
unexpected changes in the device names might be the reason for your
problem.
