Bug Description
Since the installation of linux-image-
How to reproduce:
I plug an external usb drive and wait for it to be mounted, then I shutdown my machine, I turn the power off on the external drive and cold boot.
After a few seconds I got a message from intramfs stating that it can not find my root device and it drops me into a shell
Then I do a warm reboot (ctrl-alt-del) and everything is back to normal
If I umount my external drive before shutting down, everything works as expected.
I don't know if this has anything to do with the new kernel, but I did not experience this behaviour before installing 2.6.31.16
If you need any extra informations, please contact me
greetings
Jean

Well, the kernel update of today seems to have cure the problem
Sorry for the useless noise
