Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
With linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic and Panasonic CF-R1(440MX/Pentium III),
after upgrading kernel package and initramfs-tools package in Apr. 12th, it
fails to mount root file system in initramfs. It goes busybox shell in several
minutes after showing 'waining root file system' message.
It works fine by the hardy's packages in Apr. 9th(2.6.24-15-generic and
2.6.22-14-generic).
A machine uses 440MX chipset it was recognized as hda in 7.04 and 7.10 but
hardy recognize it as sda.
I found ata_piix and sd_mod is not loaded then couldn't find the device in
busybox session.
After loading ata_piix/sd_mod, it can recognize hdd and I mount root filesystem
by hand.
I can fixes initramfs image by hand such as follows:
(initramfs) modprobe ata_piix
(initramfs) modprobe sd_mod
(initramfs) mkdir /mnt;mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
(initramfs) chroot /mnt /bin/bash
[EMAIL PROTECTED] echo ata_piix >> /etc/initramfs/modules
[EMAIL PROTECTED] update-initramfs
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ update-grub
then reboot, works fine.
A problem looks like a bug on a upgrade script in initramfs-tools
package or an auto detection of chipset(udev?).
