you are posting to the wrong ml, debian-security has _nothing_ to do with early boot! and the actual error message is just above from what you pasted. > From what I gather it cant detect the filesystem (think its a modprobe > problem) do you run latest udev 0.093-1 version? (if not upgrade) do you pass the correct boot param in grub root=/dev/sdaX or /dev/hdaX presumambly. is your root device created? check ls $ROOT in rescue console. if not and with wrong udev and old 2.6.15 use modprobe ide-disk > If anyone can assist, it would be most appreciated. > > Kind Regards > Brent Clark please take the effort to research correct ml debian-user-$lang or file a bug against initramfs-tools if the problem persists. regards -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
