I setup swap, Stable, Testing, and Unstable on a single machine. As simple as this seems grub (specifically update-grub) doesn't play very nice with it. I am generating this report from the current unstable installation on hda4, which is as up to date as I can get it without ripping out things I need.

However since the last stable release the installation has has installed a kernel and grub configuration that will not successfully boot. What happens is the system sucesfully creates a grub entry like this (taken from the clean install on /dev/hda3) title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686 root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686 However when this boots from grub the kernel remaps the device location for /dev/hda to /dev/sda. Here's a section from dmesg on the testing partition: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. 0000:00:09.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at f8832000. pata_sis 0000:00:02.5: version 0.5.2 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:02.5[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 scsi0 : pata_sis ohci_hcd: 2006 August 04 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver scsi1 : pata_sis ata1: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xa400 irq 14 ata2: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xa408 irq 15 Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 ata1.00: ATA-6: ST360015A, 3.33, max UDMA/100 ata1.00: 117231408 sectors, multi 16: LBA ata1.01: ATA-6: ST380011A, 3.06, max UDMA/100 ata1.01: 156301488 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata1.01: configured for UDMA/100 ata2.00: ATAPI: LITE-ON DVDRW LH-16W1P, SL02, max UDMA/66 ata2.01: ATAPI: LITE-ON LTR-52246S, 6S0C, max UDMA/33 ata2.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata2.01: configured for UDMA/33 scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST360015A 3.33 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 0:0:1:0: Direct-Access ATA ST380011A 3.06 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM LITE-ON DVDRW LH-16W1P SL02 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 1:0:1:0: CD-ROM LITE-ON LTR-52246S 6S0C PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:03.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.0: OHCI Host Controller ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.0: irq 20, io mem 0xce000000 usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected I included the previous and following PCI setup sections to assure that all of the PATA section is accounted for. It seems that the kernel is remapping /dev/hda using the scsi emulation, which I did not enable and grub doesn't know about during the installation. Oddly I have the same kernel installed for the unstable partition and I do not run into the same problem. I took a look at the kernel config on both and nothing stands out. I can get grub to boot the testing partition using root=/dev/sda3 or by editing the grub entry in the grub shell. If you have any ideas on where I can look to find the problem let me know. I don't use the testing partition unless I want to see how the release is going, so I can keep it intact as needed.
