Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
This has been an ongoing issue for me since kernel > 2.6.20, but it was
the (once again) unsuccessful upgrade that caused me to finally report
it.
>From what I can tell the initrd-x.x.xx-x-generic begining on 2.6.22+
fails to load any of the disk drivers (libata, ata_generic, ata_piix),
and this results in the boot hanging on Begin: Waiting for root
filesystem. It then drops to a busy box. I can manually load the modules
inside the busybox and get the thing to (somewhat) boot, but doing that
bypasses a whole trunk full of stuff needed for the system to actually
function.
I upgraded to Hardy thinking that the issue might be resolved (it first
appeared when I upgraded to gutsy), but sadly no. I'm still running with
the durned Feisty kernel a this point, and it's beginning to cause
issues.
I have rebuilt the initrd a half a dozen times and using the -v option
it does seem to build the proper kernels into the image, but for what
ever reason they never get executed prior to the attempt to mount the
root filesystem.
