Package: release-notes Severity: important I also got this error after the upgrade from etch to lenny but I was surprised to see that neither hdaX nor sdaX was able to provide a root file system. Surprisingly, my lenny with kernel 2.6.26-1-686 has still the hda nomenclature of the hard disks. The old etch kernel was still able to boot. The problem was that the upgrade procedure put a symlink from /vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 and analogously with initrd.img. My root and boot directories are on separate partitions. Therefore /vmlinuz pointed into nothing during the boot sequence. After removing this symlink and copying the kernel from /boot to /vmlinuz lenny was able to boot.
Thanks a lot, lenny is great!
