It sounds like the initramfs is incomplete.

Could you run the following and provide the output

"ls scripts scripts/*"

Thanks

ok I ran ls scripts scripts/*

Output:

scripts/nfs scripts/local scripts/functions

scripts/nfs-top:
udev

scripts/local-premount:
NTFS_3g resume

scripts/local-bottom:
NTFS_3g

scripts/init-top:
all_generic_ide usplash keypad
console_setup framebuffer brltty

scripts/init-premount:
blacklist udev

scripts/init-bottom
udev

scripts:
local-premount functions local-bottom init-top nfs-top
init-bottom nfs local init-premount

Thanks any help you can give regarding this,

Charles

also IF there is supposed to be a script for bootchart, I did boot into another kernel and ran "sudo apt-get remove bootchart" sometime in the last few hours of toying around. It did not resolve the error that it started.

I also ran the command "exit" upon someone elses advice and was supposed to have added a rootdelay=150 but the machine never booted up.

BUMP

ls /dev/disk/by-uuid

at the prompt.

Unfortunately since you've made changes to your system after observing this bug, it's highly unlikely that we will be able to solve it.

how about updating the initrd for the intrepid kernel from another kernel?
run "sudo update-initramfs -k <your intrepid kernel version> -u"

actually Dimitrios, that was what I had to do, I booted into another kernel,
then ran
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, and somehow it re-wrote the initrd for
this kernel version and magically booted. Not sure how or why, but I've got
my Ibex back. Thanks for your input.
