Hi Kel,
I have been looking further into this and I now see what's going on.
In short, I have to apologise for the false bug report.
The long version of what happened follows:
For context, fstab:
"proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
UUID=8cc10acc-3233-4ed3-ae07-a16c7feaf4e4 / ext2
defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=4b494be4-8d11-4024-9266-d5a972d4786a /usr ext3 defaults 0 1
UUID=1c088681-9628-4240-8e2c-6cf08a6a3570 /var ext3 defaults 0 2

UUID=834624fb-c582-49e9-ad7f-4d01d1dce83f /keep ext3 defaults 0 2
UUID=2000c67a-06d3-43a3-a445-fd74a7b1f33c /keep/pele ext3 defaults 0 3
UUID=2f0ba551-f483-4478-861a-e2c63bcbb52f /home ext3 defaults 0 3
/keep /srv/keep none rw,bind 0 0
/keep/pele /srv/keep/pele none rw,bind 0 0
"
The other thing to know is that on this system has some disks are
connected via the USB bus. (It's an ALIX.2)
The boot disk is a small CF card. The rest of the system is on other
attached disks.
When I first setup the system some time ago, I had the problem of not
all disks being discovered before the boot process got to checkfs.
My solution back then was a "S09pause" in rcS with just "sleep 10s" in
it and to have usb_storage and friends in initrd. All disks would be
discovered before boot proceeded.
This weekend I upgrade to squeeze and the init process was changed to
a dependancy based one. The system no longer booted. checkfs
complained that it could not find any disks with the given UUID.
I found out that my S09pause would no longer be called, or at least
not in the right place.
I google for solutions, as you do...
I found one that did something with udev (a system I'm still not 100%
familiar with). So I deleted my S09pause and it seemed to work, but
boot broke again.
More googling and asking of questions in #debian on freenode, but no progress.
In the end I filed this report. (with hindsight erroneously)
Now we come to the present.
Based on your email, it became obvious to me that the udev solution
was not only mounting the USB partitions, but also those of the CF
disk. Giving the problem reported.
My new solution, which seems to work now:
I removed all the stuff installed into udev and put fstab back as given above
.
I have stuck a "sleep 10s" in /etc/init.d/rcS before the exec rc S call.
Since all USB modules were loaded in the initrd, and with rc-init
waiting 10 secs, all disks are discovered before boot proceeds.
It might not be the most elegant solution, but this system only ever
reboots on power failures and upgrades...
Thank you for your time.
Regards
Thorben
