Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
First of all i will describe my sistem:
Pentium IV 1.5 Mhz on a SiS 645DX/961B (NS70-EL from DFI) chipset board, with two ATA Hard Disk. I am trying to install feisty, and with the feisty livecd, hard disks are partitioned like this:
First Hard Disk 40 gb (Master of IDE1)
hda1-> Windows XP (30 gb). I want to keep it aswell.
hda2-> / (8.5 gb approx)
hda3-> swap (1.5 gb approx)
Second Hard Disk 120 gb (Slave of IDE1)
hdb-> /home (120 gb)
After installing, i reboot and the remove the livecd, and when when grub loads, I select the latest Kernel (2.6.20-15), and then the progressbar does not make any progress. (Same bug in the Kernel (2.6.20-12 to 2.6.20-15 last one). After one or two minutes i can see this:
"Udevd-event [1950]: run-program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit
BusyBox v.1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3ubuntu3) Built-install (ash)
/bin/sh: can access tty; jub control turned off (initramfs)"
and this:
"ALERT! /dev/disk/
i thinks that "xxxxxxxxxxxx" is the by-uuid identificator for the system disk "/"
The number of Udevd-event [xxxx] can vary from 1950 to 1960 (in other install tryings)
The system works perfectly with Edgy with the same partitioning configuration.
Any solution?
Grub now uses UUID to boot. Could it have it wrong ? XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXX, with the correct UUID, which you can get from a the livecd.
be sure that your grub line read root=UUID=
good luck
