       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
2.6.12-10-powerpc gives up, saying that it can't find the root
partition:

Begin: Initializing /dev ...
Done.
Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ...
Done.
Begin: Mounting root file system ...
Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ...
Done.
ALERT! /dev/sda8 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!


BusyBox <blahblah>

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
# 

Works fine with the 2.6.10-5-powerpc-smp kernel from Hoary, although it
does not find CPU 1.  This is on a Power Macintosh 9500/180MP.
