Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.51
Severity: important
/scripts/local says this on boot:
ALERT!: /dev/hde1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
and then drops me to a shell. "ls -l /dev/hde1" in shell shows
/dev/hde1 *does* exist. Exiting the shell (even without doing anything)
allows the boot to continue normally.
The following kludgy patch (and regenerating the ramdisk) fixes the
problem for me - I guess /scripts/local is run before the disks are
completely done probing or something?
I can't help thinking a proper check that things are ready for mounting
would be a better fix than an arbitrary sleep, but I'm not certain
how...
