Package: linux-image-2.6.20-1-686 Version: 2.6.20-1 Severity: normal I run Debian sid on an external hard drive, which I then move between machines and boot off it whereever I am able. I've not been able to boot it with the 2.6.20 images showed up in Debian sid, so I am still using 2.6.18-4. The problem seems to be that the system does not wait for the root device (/dev/sda1) before attempting to launch init. So, it drops me into an initramfs prompt whenever booting a 2.6.20 image. I'd rather not have to use 2.6.18 since it won't receive any updates in Debian sid.
