Bug Description

Hi,
since the 2.6.17 kernel serie, my laptop is not booting anymore.
It hangs on "mounting root file system", then, after a while, I get a (initramfs) prompt.

I've made some screenshots, they can be found at:
http://www.debuntu.org/ubuntu-2.6.17-boot/ .
In order of appearance:

then, a dump of loaded modules:

a copy (typed by hand) of what seems to go wrong:
http://www.debuntu.org/ubuntu-2.6.17-boot/2.6.17-booting-msg.txt

and a dmesg + lspci under 2.6.15 kernel:

http://www.debuntu.org/ubuntu-2.6.17-boot/lspci-vvv.txt

hope this helps.

Hi Ben,

I still have the same issue :s.

I will try later on with the linux-image-debug-2.6.17-8-generic instead and will post the output.
