Is
- the commit 36501650ec45b1db308c3b51886044863be2d762 with Andi's fix applied
or
- the commit f6fb786d6dcdd7d730e4fba620b071796f487e1b
(the one before commit 36501650ec45b1db308c3b51886044863be2d762)
working for you?
> Creating root device.
> Mounting root filesystem.
> mount: could not find filesystem
> Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Is IDE actually used for the boot device?
[ Please send a dmesg output from the working system. ]
Thanks,
Bart
