Description Fergus Allan 2008-04-07 13:09:43 UTC
After installing booting failed with a '/dev/sda3 is not a valid root device' and 
'could not find root device in .'.  Adding doscsi to the boot allowed a sucesful boot, but the /dev step complains that it is broken (separate bug).

I don't remember having to add doscsi to the kernel line in 2007.1.  Has this been removed from the boot in 2008.0B1
