package: debian-installer version: 20090123 After a new installation of Debian, the boot loader attempted to load the root filesystem before the usb hard drive containing the root filesystem had been found.
Workaround: Manually edit grub's menu.lst. There is a line starting with "kernel". Add "rootdelay=20" to the end of the line. A different number besides 20 may be used depending on how slow the usb hard drive is. This problem was only noticed after solving the problem of grub trying to load the root partition from the wrong drive. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=517563 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
