Bug Description
It fails to boot, after mounting the filesystems it displays a message saying something like:
waiting for root filesystem...
It hangs there indefinetly, this did not happen with kernel 2.6.15-19. I dont know if it is relevant, but my HD is SATA, and my partition is formated to ext3.
I have a single hard disk installed, which has four partitions, here I list the information reported by fdisk:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19452 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
