For whatever reason the three subsequent replies to this list ignored |
| 11 |
the actual explanation of the cause of the problems, which was this |
| 12 |
(not uncommon on this list it seems). |

This is also why it is helpful to post actual config files when you |
| 15 |
have problems. The lines you consider most relevant aren't |
| 16 |
necessarily the ones containing the clues. |

When root=UUID=... was added manually to the command line, then the |
| 19 |
kernel refused to boot at all, because the kernel itself doesn't |
| 20 |
understand that syntax. |

So, the next question becomes, how are you generating an initramfs, |
| 23 |
and how is it named? Pasting the output of "ls /boot" might be |
| 24 |
helpful here. |
