Hi,
After an update of my kernel to 2.6.17 my machine only boots at random.
I have googled for a solution and it appears that it happens because of
the way the harddisks are found during startup . The solution described
involves using lables in fstab and grub (menu.lst).
But whatever I do, I cannot find a way to add labels in my fstab an grub
that actually work. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to make my
machine boot reliable using labels with fstab/grub? I have tried to add
labels to both fstab and menu.lst but a reboot failed miserably....
Excerpt from my menu.lst
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17-2-amd64
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-2-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-2-amd64
savedefault
My fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /var ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdc1 /home xfs defaults 0 2
/dev/sdc2 /pgdata xfs defaults 0 2
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
I also meet this problem and I use another solution. in CMOS, I
disable the IT821x(?), then the disk number will not change again.
