Starting from 2.5.19 (x86), booting fails at "Checking root file system..."
if devfs is mounted; there is no problem if devfs is not mounted. With
devfs mounted I get:
...
Checking root file system...
fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
...
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda2
Here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda1 /windows vfat defaults,user,exec 0 2
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
none /devices driverfs defaults 0 0
Any ideas?

I had the same problem, as the familiar /dev/hdN devices were not there.
You can likely find them deep /dev/ata/...
I adjusted my fstab to use /dev/ata/... devices. I believe I had done that
once for /dev/ide, but then it was switched to ata ;)
