Subject: linux-image-2.6.30-2-686: 2.6.30 cannot find root file system
Package: linux-image-2.6.30-2-686
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When I try to boot with linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 the boot up hangs while
trying
to find the root file system. It freezes for a few minutes and then
drops me into
the busybox shell. I have tried changing the "root" parameter in grub's
menu.lst
from /dev/hda1 (this is the working setting, up to and including 2.6.26) to
/dev/sda1 or using the UUID setting. I also try this in the fstab file. The
results are always the same. It cannot find the root file system.
I don't think this is strictly a 2.6.30 problem because I tried booting with
a Sidux live CD (2009-2) which also uses 2.6.30 and the system booted with
no problems. It identified my hard disk as /dev/sda1, but as I've said,
doing
that on the Debian system doesn't help. The specs of my hard disk taken from
lshw are as follows:
