[Bug 21481] Re: Kernel panic 2.6.12-8-amd64-k8

[Jason Crain]

Your fstab and menu.lst look good to me same to me.  And if they didn't
match, I would expect the error messages to be different.

So if you boot into -19 recovery console, you see entries in /dev ?   Do
you at least have /dev/hda or /dev/sda entries for your drive?  If so, I
don't know why it is not creating the entries in /dev/disk/by-uuid.  It
should create entries based on the following rules:

# by-label/by-uuid (filesystem properties)
IMPORT{program}="vol_id --export $tempnode"
ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto", ENV{ID_FS_UUID_ENC}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-uuid/$env{ID_FS_UUID_ENC}"
ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other", ENV{ID_FS_LABEL_ENC}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-label/$env{ID_FS_LABEL_ENC}"

and it gets the information it needs from /lib/udev/vol_id.  I can only
guess that either it cannot find the vol_id program or vol_id is
returning bad information.  What does it show when you run
"/lib/udev/vol_id /dev/hd??" replacing ?? with letter/number for your
root drive?
