Nevermind, fixed. Changed initramfs MODULES=dep to MODULES=most and it boots now.
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy # Driver inclusion policy selected during installation # Note: this setting overrides the value set in the file # /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most Seems like there is a bug in initramfs-tools.

I upgraded them from squeeze to wheezy. They can boot with the squeeze kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 ok. But they cannot boot with the wheezy kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64. Loading, please wait. Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/8cdd1090-26ac-4767-b975-05fad7d1f554 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! modprobe: module ehci-hcd not found in modules.dep modprobe: module uhci-hcd not found in modules.dep modprobe: module ohci-hcd not found in modules.dep modprobe: module usbhid not found in modules.dep BusyBox v1.20.2 (Debian 1:1.20.0-7) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 root=UUID=8cdd1090-26ac-4767-b975-05fad7d1f554 ro quiet Adding rootdelay=120 has no effect (other than delaying boot failure...) root= & UUID is correct and matches exactly the root= & UUID of the working squeeze kernel. cat /proc/modules ata_generic 12479 0 - Live 0xffffffffa0037000 ata_piix 29535 0 - Live 0xffffffffa0029000 libata 140630 2 ata_generic,ata_piix, Live 0xffffffffa003d000 scsi_mod 162269 1 libata, Live 0xffffffffa0000000 ls /dev/hd* /dev/sd* /dev/disk ls: /dev/hd*: No such file or directory ls: /dev/sd*: No such file or directory ls: /dev/disk: No such file or directory No raid or lvm in use. root is on Hyper-V IDE 0, disk 0, partition 2 (/dev/sda2) Rebuilding the initramfs had no effect.
