I installed Debian Lenny on a system with a SATA hardrive and a built-in
USB card reader. As the card reader driver is loaded before the SATA drivers
during installation and after SATA driver during boot the instaleed system
fails to boot searching for root in one of the card reader slots.
Such (or similar) problems are already documented, i.e. see
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#boot-hangs.
That documents a problem when upgrading from etch to lenny, but the
problem is similar, and the solution is the same:
don't name the device by it's device name (i.e. /dev/sda1), but by
it's label (which can be specified during partitioning step) or by
UUID (which is unique for every harddisk on earth).
d-i people:
Is device-naming defaulted to UUID now?
(during my installation tests in the near past I saw that UUID
was used by default.)
If this is the case:
Would you agree, that this bug can be closed?
