A few weeks ago I found that I was suddenly unable to boot a self-compiled kernel after making a change to only one option which wouldn't affect booting at all. The kernel couldn't find the root fs and after some waiting put me into an emergency shell. Apparently the lvm volumes the root fs resides on were unavailable for unknown reasons. Fortunately, kernels from Debian packages still boot. I haven't found a solution other than to run stock kernels yet. The only thing I could find out is that it eventually has something to do with the initramfs not being built correctly by the update-initramfs tool. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
