I'm running an unstable 5.0.3 on a 15" PowerBook G4 on a custom 2.6.32.3
kernel. I have a single partition that is a reiserfs file system.
When I tried to upgrade to a 2.6.32.4 kernel (or higher as the current
stable kernel is 2.6.32.6), I got the "Waiting for root file system..."
hang. Debian has some documentation about it:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#boot-hangs
I tried the suggestion of labeling the file system to 'Root', but it
still hangs. I thought maybe the initramfs image wasn't being setup
properly, so I modified the /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf file and
set this:
ROOT=LABEL=/Root
and rebuilt my initrd.img:
mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.6 2.6.32.6
The resulting image was 22MB, but the system still hangs. If I try to
configure my /etc/yaboot.conf to look for the root at LABEL=/Root, it
becomes unreadable when selected at the Yaboot selection screen.
Here is my current yaboot.conf:
boot=/dev/hda2
device=/p...@f4000000/at...@d/d...@0:
partition=4
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
enablecdboot
macosx=/dev/hda3
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="root=LABEL=/Root"
image=/boot/vmlinux.old
label=old
read-only
root=/dev/hda4
initrd=/boot/initrd.img.old
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Dustin
