Bug#548803: Me too
Same thing happened to me - couldn't find the filesystem even though the UUID referenced appaars to be correct. Booting with root=/dev/hda1 instead works fine. I appear to get a correct grub.cfg if I set GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true in /etc/default/grub.cfg My setup is pretty straight forward - the root fs is ext3 on a PATA disk. -- ..ooOO ch...@chiappa.net | My opinions are my own OOoo.. ..ooOO chris.chia...@oracle.com | and certainly not those OOoo.. ..ooOO http://www.chiappa.net/~chris/ | of my employer OOoo.. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Do you get from GRUB and not kernel/initrd the message that it can't find the device with the UUID? If yes then it would be very strange that disabling root=UUID= usage fixes this. If not then it's not the same bug. If uuid in the root=UUID linux line is the one for your / and initrd can't find it then it's a bug inside the initrd which is not at all created by us. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The kernel complained that it gave up waiting for the root filesystem to appear and dumped me in a shell. I'll try to figure out where the right bug report should go. -- ..ooOO ch...@chiappa.net | My opinions are my own OOoo.. ..ooOO chris.chia...@oracle.com | and certainly not those OOoo.. ..ooOO http://www.chiappa.net/~chris/ | of my employer OOoo.. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
