I've a puzzling failure to boot. Error messages have to be copied over by hand, so apologies if there are typos. The boot process seems normal past cryptsetup's request for the password. The first sign of trouble reads mount: mounting /dev/mapper/[name of my swap partition] on /root failed: no such device
Next, initramfs appears to run /scripts/local-top and /scripts/local-premount successfully. Maybe. Kinit goes for a normal boot after pondering manual. Then comes Begin: running /scripts/init-bottom mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory. There are similar failures re. sys and /proc. Also the message: Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init At this point, I am dumped into busybox: (initramfs) but I haven't managed to figure out what to fix or how to fix it. The problem first appeared when trying to resume from s2ram (or was it s2both?) under a home-compiled vanilla 2.6.30.1 kernel. Purging and reinstalling that kernel did not change the problem. A home-compiled kernel from 2.6.29-4 vanilla sources has worked fine throughout. I tried another kernel, compiled from the basic config-2.6.29-4 that works, but from Debian 2.6.30-2 sources, and it fails in exactly the same way. Googling the error messages has not produced anything I could figure out. I'm stumped. Clues will be gratefully accepted. -- johnrchamp...@columbus.rr.com ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/99421A63 2005-01-05 EE51 79E9 F244 D734 A012 1CEC 7813 9FE9 9942 1A63 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 99421A63
