 Hi,
 the kernel in unstable doesn't boot for some reason. The last message it 
 prints is Begin: Waiting for root filesystem...  I do think that 
 this has something to do with the initramfs. According to google the 
 initramfs is too large to be loaded, or something. 
 
 I've already tried to downgrade the initramfs-tools to the old 
 etch-version, but that didn't change a thing. 
 I've also tried to rebuild a smaller initramfs by changing 
 MODULES=most to MODULES=dep in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf 
 running update-initramfs -k 2.6.25-2-amd64 -u -v. But the bootprocess 
 still hung.
 
 Please tell me, if you have any ideas what the problem is, or what I 
 could do, to get additional informations.

checkout http://wiki.debian.org/InitramfsDebug
and give info according to those points.

thanks

I have managed to get the new kernel running. The problem has been, that 
for some reason all hda* devices become sda* devices, when I'm using the 
recent kernel.
When I change every hda entry in the boot patameters and /etc/fstab to 
sda, the system runs fine. Additionally I made a sudo dpkg-reconfigure 
uswsusp to get rid of a error message.


However, I think that there still is a problem, because I have got an 
IDE disk which is labeled as if it were SCSI, and thats at least unusual.


According to lsmod the IDE modules have been loaded:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod | grep ide
ide_pci_generic 9476  0 [permanent]
ide_core  138160  2 ide_pci_generic,sis5513


And I haven't found anything of interest in the output of dmesg, but 
maybe I'm just clueless:
