Thanks for the information. Now I know what's doing it and how to fix it. But I will send some more information just in case it's a bug. I use lenny and never touched the fstab of that machine manually. But I run xen which loads it's own "xenified" kernel. My /boot/grub/menu.lst (I run debian and ubuntu virtual machines on their own real partitions) I use the first row always (currently Xen 3.2-1-i386) =========================================== server:~# cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep -v \# | grep -v ^$ default 0 timeout 30 color cyan/blue white/blue title Xen 3.2-1-i386 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen-3.2-1-i386.gz module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro console=tty0 module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686 title Xen 3.2-1-i386 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-xen-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen-3.2-1-i386.gz module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro console=tty0 module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.28.9-al1 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.9-al1 root=/dev/hdc1 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.9-al1 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.28.9-al1 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.9-al1 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.9-al1 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.28-11-server root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-server root=/dev/hdc1 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-server title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.28-11-server (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-server root=/dev/hdc1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-server title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-xen-686 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-xen-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-xen-686 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-686 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 title Other operating systems title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-server uuid 297ae396-2033-42da-ad3b-640b5f3f01d5 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-server root=UUID=297ae396-2033-42da-ad3b-640b5f3f01d5 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-server quiet title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-server (recovery mode) uuid 297ae396-2033-42da-ad3b-640b5f3f01d5 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-server root=UUID=297ae396-2033-42da-ad3b-640b5f3f01d5 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-server title Ubuntu 9.04, memtest86+ uuid 297ae396-2033-42da-ad3b-640b5f3f01d5 kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin quiet My current fstab (I never changed it manually) ================================== # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 #/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 #/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 To make the things work, after the last flip-flop of the names, I must just update my menu.lst and just replace every instance of hdc1 with hda1. And it will work probably up to the next time I update the kernel. I will try with UUIDs though, if they are supported in lenny. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
