Sorry, the instructions I gave only work for people running unstable right now. In the past, the nslu2-utils package would write the root partition as a config variable to ramdisk, but since recently this is done by flash-kernel instead. (Currently in unstable, soon also in testing.) So you have to edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/nslu2 for now and put echo "root: -$rootdev-" >&2 at the end. > , and I think the 2nd "root: --" feedback is due to a similar > command already present in the "nslu2" file (in hooks). Did you put it there? Because by default the nslu2 script doesn't print anyway. > I have no idea what the "--" signifies, but I'm thinking it's not good. Right, the idea is to print - then the root device and then - again. So if it prints --, then the root device is not set. However, I doubt this is really the case - the script would print a big warning in that case. > Just to show it's not a UUID/label problem, here is my fstab: > > # /etc/fstab: static file system information. > # > # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> > proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 > /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 This looks just fine. > /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /media/usb0 auto > rw,user,noauto 0 0 > /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 /media/usb1 auto > rw,user,noauto 0 0 > /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 /media/usb2 auto > rw,user,noauto 0 0 > I have no idea what the /dev/sci/host0/... entries are about, but > commenting them out has no effect on the update-initramfs result. These are harmless. They are added because the disk is a USB disk (i.e. an external and not a built-in disk), so the installer adds some entries that makes it easy to mount external devices. But they are not mounted by default, so you can simply ignore them. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
