Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
My system fails to boot when using the new 2.6.20-14-generic-amd64
kernel.
The 2.6.20-13-generic-amd64 kernel works fine, but with the -14 kernel
the system simply stops after detecting disks and usb devices. No errors
or anything unusual are logged. The system stops at the point where
normally the root filesystem would be mounted. The keyboard is
responsive at this point, but boot never progresses.
I notice the -14 kernel uses the new libata drivers, whereas the -13
kernel did not. fstab and menu.lst are set up to use UUIDs, but just in
case I tried with root=/dev/sda2 (previous /dev/hda2) as well. Same
result.
The system is an AMD64 3000+ with an nforce 3 mainboard. Only the on-
board controllers are used. One sata disk is attached, there are three
pata disks and there is an external USB2 disk. All these are detected
(as sda through sde) during boot.
