Has anyone experienced problems booting newer kernels on SUSE 10.2. I can build and boot 2.6.20.1, but when I tried to move to 2.6.23.12 it fails with the following message:
Waiting for device /dev/sda2 to appear:...
This message is coming from the script linuxrc, which is generated by mkinitrd and executed during the startup. I have no modules except scsi_wait_scan.ko. The configuration for this module has changed and currently there is no option to change it to a built-in module. I tried editing the make file for this module to force it to be built into the kernel, but it still did not work.
I suspect there has been a change to SCSI that the mkinitrd script for SUSE has not accounted for.
