Package: linux-image-2.6.14-2-686 Version: 2.6.14-3 Severity: normal The linux kernel now does not boot for me. This is with udev 0.076-1 installed, and with hotplug purged. The IDE subsystem seems to be initialized correctly, but /dev/hda1 does not exist. I get (copied by hand):
hda: FUJITSU MHT2040AT, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: max request size: 128KiB hda: 78140160 sectors (40007 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) hda: cache flushes supported hda: hda1 Done. ... and then soon after: Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... Done. ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! Investigation within the shell reveals that /dev contains only /dev/console and /dev/null. The static /dev directory on my /dev/hda1 partition _does_ apparently contain a /dev/hda1 entry. All of the testing above was with "root=/dev/hda1" appended to the kernel command line. Without that argument, I get a failure to boot at a different point in the process (immediately after starting udevd, and it asks for the root password for maintenance). Both failures to boot seem to be because of a lack of a /dev/hda1 device node. I can write and copy the transcript for that failure case as well if you like. The debian image linux-image-2.6.12-1-686 version 2.6.12-6 boots correctly for me.
