Seems like somewhere in the process of upgrading to the last kernel image, kernel entry gets messed up in menu.lst, putting the wrong root=.... For example, before upgrade I had root=/dev/hda3, but now probably is /dev/hda1(i can't really log on to that system anymore, being a remote host.). Anyway, same thing happened when I upgraded from sarge to etch 2-3 weeks ago... (only that i forgot bout it today and happily upgraded the kernel and rebooted without correcting menu.lst :D). Can you please specify what actual script does modify menu.lst while upgrading a kernel? Thanks.
Note that i did an aptitude update, then aptitude upgrade today in order to upgrade to the last packages. Oh... and the system ends up in busy-box after some /dev/hda... no such file or directory, /dev/.static no such file or directory, etc, etc... But basically the problem is in the way the upgrading process updates menu.lst. Have a nice day.
