On most of my older systems, I've needed to add the option rootdelay=9 to make the system boot when upgrading to the kernel and such for squeeze. Without it, the root file system is not found and it drops you into the initramfs prompt.
I've fixed this on about 5 or more systems, and it has come to the point where I have to wonder why does the kernel present this problem? Why not have a safer default? The solution isn't hard, but it seems pointless to break the boot up for so many systems. Really an issue for kernel devs, but I suppose the installer for Squeeze could possibly use some sort of magic to guess when it might be needed. Can rootdelay=9 cause any problems? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
