Hi Andrei, I've checked the /dev/disk/by-uuid directory after initrd console appears. There are no entries until hdparm -z /dev/sda is called. hdparm -z /dev/sda force the kernel to reload the partition table. I'm sure that the driver is up and runing because dmesg|grep sda show that the partition table was recognised!
Who is responsible for /proc/partitions ? Is there a way to prevent udev to be started by kernel option ? The problem I see is that mounting /dev/sda2 (which is the ext3 root partition) failes with "Device or resource busy" after hdparm -z /dev/sda is called. There is something going on which is not right.
