I just found out that the -i386 initramfs does not contain /lib/udev, and that is almost certainly my problem (I use a root=UUID=... bootarg, and the initramfs needs /lib/udev/vol_id to figure out which device to let /dev/root point to).
Is there a GOOD reason for udev not being copied into the initramfs for linux-image-2.6.24-14-386? My next step would be to find out what mechanism drives initramfs-tools to pack things differently for different kernels, the docs are fairly incomplete... -- No device nodes for hd in initramfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
