Bug#575353: linux-image-2.6.33-2-amd64: 2.6.33 fails to boot - unable to mount root fs
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.33-1~experimental.4
Severity: normal
linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 is fine, but linux-image-2.6.33-2-amd64 from
experimental won't boot.
As I can't see the screen, I'm relying on others to report the error message,
which is approximately as follows.
Kernel panic - unable to mount root fs on unknown-block 0,0
The root file system is XFS, specified as a UUID in /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
I also tried booting with the root=/dev/sda1 kernel parameter, but this
still resulted in a kernel panic with a stack trace that I wasn't able to
capture.
I'm planning to set up network console to obtain traces regarding a CPU clock
frequency issue on an old laptop that I should be in a position to test in the
next week or so, and which is the subject of another outstanding bug report of
mine. If necessary, I can apply the same technique here, although it's my
primary workstation in this instance and unfortunately the only recovery
technique seems to be to power cycle the machine.

aboves error message shows that there is no initramfs passed by the
bootloader. which grub or lilo do you use?
try to regenerate intramfs:

Grub 2. Regenerating the initramfs is what I tried first, but it didn't help.
I'll try to investigate further.

thus deinstall lilo.

invoke *if and only if* sda is your harddisc where boot loader is on
install-grub /dev/sda
update-grub
also check that you completed upgrade from grub to grub2.

I can confirm the latter; Grub 2 has been working (not chain-loaded anymore)
since late last year on this system. It will load 2.6.32-3 fine but not
2.6.33-2. I can re-install it if that would help.

I ran grub-install /dev/sda and (just to be sure) rebuilt the initramfs. After
rebooting, kernel 2.6.33-2 loaded successfully.
Thank you for the help. I don't know why everything wasn't updated
automatically; perhaps grub-pc 1.98 didn't re-install itself during the
upgrade.
