[Yaird-devel] Bug#343042: linux-image-2.6.14-2-686: Boot aborts with message, '/bin/cat: /sys/block/hda/hda1/dev: No such file or directory'

[Andrew Sackville-West]

I can confirm, as others have mentioned, that this bug affects AMD 
systems as well. All of my symptoms were identical to others reported.

I chose to downgrade yaird to testing and this resolved the problem (now 
running 2.6.14-5). I appears to me that the patch mentioned above 
doesn't apply yet to AMD so I chose this route.

I encountered another problem at the same time and I'm trying to 
determine if they are related. If anyone else encountered this as well, 
please let me know.

All boots now (whether 2.8.14, or 2.6.12 my old kernel) fail with fsck 
errors on every partition(!). something along the lines of:

UNEXEPCTED DISCREPANCY: SuperBlock last write time is in the future.

I realise this is likely not related to this bug (especially because it 
was all part of a massive apt-get upgrade), but since this bug involved 
ide issues I thought it might apply.
any help appreciated.
