I initially thought it was because of the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN, but I went back to an old (working) config file, and it still doesn't boot: >> Mounting root... >> Booting (initramfs)...unmount: /dev: Device or resource busy *: Failed to unmount the initrd /dev! .. INIT: version 2.86 booting [some usual boot stuff] fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda7 /dev/hda7: The superblock could not be read or does not ...[blah blah blah] I think it might be genkernel which I just upgraded from 3.3.6 to 3.3.8. Any ideas? I can't stay with 2.6.15-rc5 because other things don't work, and I can't go back to 2.6.15-rc1 because it won't boot...
