Last week, I ran into the same weird thing for the fourth time, so i'll consider it a bug. Whenever grub (or something that has to do with it, can't say what package for sure) is upgraded, I get a kernel panic at boot saying that it can't find the root fs and then some VFS sync error.
However, the UUID of the root-partition in /boot/grub/menu.lst is completely correct (744f8a03-bb51-4c19-afc1-50e624e76dfd)
Below are the two boot entries, the first one is the no-booter...
Code:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22.3-rc1-slh-smp-2
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.3-rc1-slh-smp-2 root=UUID=744f8a03-bb51-4c19-afc1-50e624e76dfd ro quiet vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22.3-rc1-slh-smp-2
title Failsafe, kernel 2.6.22.3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-failsafe root=UUID=744f8a03-bb51-4c19-afc1-50e624e76dfd ro quiet vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img-failsafe
For now I've taken my precautions and added an extra "failsafe" boot option by copying the original kernel and initrd. |
