Subject: Probably silly Q about bootable partitions

Greetings;

I can't build a bootable 3.12.6 kernel, it seems to die quite fast with a 
trace blaming binfmt-some-hex-number.  Or fail well into the boot waiting 
for / to come available.  But if I choose a shell at that failure, it 
isn't / that is not shown in a blkid report, it is /boot, named "ububoot" 
thats missing. "/", named uburoot, is fine.

Here is blkid output booted to 3.12.0.

gene@...ote:~/src/linux-3.12.6$ blkid
/dev/sdc1: UUID="1321fc90-ba7a-4742-8176-f7b3a8284be5" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sdc2: LABEL="amandatapes-1-T" UUID="b7657920-d9a2-4379-ae21-08a0651b65cc" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" 
/dev/sda1: LABEL="ububoot" UUID="f54ba7af-1545-43f3-a86e-bfc0017b4526" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

/dev/sdb5: UUID="b4841721-a040-48bc-80dc-e742164ad38a" TYPE="swap" 
/dev/sdd1: LABEL="home2" UUID="7601432d-7a30-42a3-80b5-57f08ae71f2a" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sdd2: LABEL="opt2" UUID="748b01e1-ae7b-4b17-b8e9-c88429bcefbf" TYPE="ext4" 

Duplicating this 3.12.0's settings under "filesystems" for 3.12.6 is 
apparently not the needed fix.

Clues for the apparently clueless?

Thanks all.


Cheers, Gene
