[I'm sorry if it's boring you] I updated kernel on debian-40r6 (2.6.18) to 2.6.28 from kernel.org, and got the error* "Waiting for root file system..." when booting the new kernel.
The linux's hosted in VMware Workstation 6.0. The commands I issued were: make defconfig, make, make modules_install install, update- initramfs -c -k 2.6.28. The /etc/fstab contains: /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 The /boot/grub/menu.lst contains: root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.1 root=/dev/sda1 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.1 Some said that** there will be no /dev/sda1 for the new kernel, but how can i know the replacement for it in new kernel? After the message "Waiting for root file system...", the new kernel dropped into BusyBox ash: (initramfs) cat /etc/fstab cat: /etc/fstab: No such file or directory (initramfs) cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name (initramfs) _ Right now, I don't know how to apply volume label or UUID to solve this problem. Thanks for your time and help. * http://seuofg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pwb5OxK6exFQC9aQiV3UpYos-Xl9aoe-mMmC61y5PaonOPKX76buV29PSxr1gHf20SzOdGb9WWrojmTnKibSNAg/debian-40r6_linux-2.6.18_to_linux-2.6.28.jpg ** http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user/msg/41d62fec9cdd8003?hl=en -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
