It's as if the kernel can't find the root partition at all, never mind read /etc/fstab from it. Is it possible that the Debian installer sets up the initial boot parameters to reference the root device by uuid? AIUI, that information is stored as part of the kernel boot command line. How can I get that back out of the flash memory to examine it? TIA, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
