I did a complete new installation with the same image as before from
23. Aug 2010, it was an expert installation, but I accepted all
default values, so no custom things were done, apart from this:
Just before the initrd is generated, I added ata-generic to
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules (on the second console).
That way, the ata-generic got included in the initrd.
When I boot now, the root filesystem still cannot be found.
Some output from the initramfs-shell:
(initramfs) cat /proc/modules

As this does not boot, I tried again a new installation, and forced to
add ide_generic to the initrd, and that works! The machine boots fine
with ide_generic.
But as this is an obsolete driver, you may not be interested in info
about this.
Thanks
Holger
