--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-base Version: 2.6.32-15 Severity: wishlist The update warning says: ============ The new Linux kernel version provides different drivers for some PATA (IDE) controllers. The names of some hard disk, CD-ROM, and tape devices may change. It is now recommended to identify disk devices in configuration files by label or UUID (unique identifier) rather than by device name, which will work with both old and new kernel versions. If you choose to not update the system configuration automatically, you must update device IDs yourself before the next system reboot or the system may become unbootable. Update disk device IDs in system configuration? ============== It would be very important at this stage to give more information about the rename-thing. ideas for Solution: a) a hint like "[..] the renaming scheme is /dev/hdX -> /dev/sdX" in the message b) further information on http://rename... c) see man (...) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages linux-base depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libuuid-perl 0.02-3+b1 Perl extension for using UUID inte ii util-linux 2.16.2-0 Miscellaneous system utilities linux-base recommends no packages. linux-base suggests no packages. -- debconf information: linux-base/disk-id-manual-boot-loader: linux-base/disk-id-manual: linux-base/disk-id-convert-plan-no-relabel: true linux-base/disk-id-convert-plan: true linux-base/disk-id-convert-auto: true
