I had also the issue with the UUIDS. However, I did not flash the kernel in-between, I only changed /etc/fstab. Also -- at least in my case -- it was sufficient to try to mount *some* filesystem, not necessarly the rootfs. (Maybe, Stuart, can you try this too? Does it break if you use UUIDS on some other fs than the rootfs?) I do not have the hardware here to hook up the serial interface on my thecus, so I cannot debug that right now.
BTW, As I made a backup of /etc before reinstalling to armel, I actually have this offending fstab, (just the UUID changed, as this stick is still in use...) # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/md0 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime,commit=36000 0 1 /dev/md1 none swap sw 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults 0 0 #tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults 0 0 #tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 UUID="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" /mnt/systemstick ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 On Mon, 2008-05-12 at 17:19 +0200, Martin Michlmayr wrote: > * Stuart Read <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2008-05-11 21:13]: > > I can't think of any particular reason the upgrade should have failed, > > as I've stopped (for the moment) playing with the UUID/label thing and > > had left things as they were until I had more time to work at it. > > > > Any thoughts/suggestions? > > On what exactly?
