Hello:

Systems were fine, until I recently rebooted. Now they will not start 
declaring: "VFS: Cannot open root device "ubd/0" or unknown-block(0,0)"

I am guessing that the new glibc 2.4-11 is what is causing the issue. I 
have removed /lib/tls (which was empty) with no avail.

What is causing the kernel to be unable to find the device?

Here is my config:

Host Kernel: 2.6.17.8-skas3-v9-pre9
UML Kernel: 2.6.15.7-bs3-tls

UML fstab: /dev/ubd/0 /    ext3    defaults 0 0
