submitter 475958 ! retitle 475958 document procedure to recover from "/dev/hda became /dev/sda" boot failure reassign 475958 release-notes thanks
Hi, Not sure if this is mentioned already. But if it's not, it most likely can benefit from an update as per the introduction of UUID support in GRUB. In case user runs into the common "/dev/hda became /dev/sda" boot failure trouble during upgrade, she can solve it with relative ease by simply removing /boot/grub/menu.lst and having update-grub re-generate it. The new Linux cmdline will include a "root=UUID=xxx" parameter. It might even be a good idea to recommend that users do this preemptively, so that they don't have to recover from a boot failure. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What good is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
