Package: kernel driver, or Alsa-1.0.19
Severity: normal


When the system fails to boot it stops with a message Driver 'sd' needs
updating - Please see bus-type methods.

After several minutes, if reset not hit, a message 
initramfs unable to mount root fs. 

An explanation of plugged in periferals might be needed...
USB hub.
An USB keyboard(music instrument), 
printer
Kingston compact flash card reader

And the box have 2 sound cards, emu10k1 and a via 82c686.

after booting until it works, sound won't work. For example Audacious starts
with the volume slider at Zero. And if play is hit the entire play-list is
finishet in milliseconds, so it is sending a stream somewhere.  Sound Juicer
cant find CD.

The failed boot began to complain about 'sd' so i began to suspect that the
boot process is loading drivers in wrong order or something, and pointing
out a boot sector on the wrong place. Just guessing.

The 'sd' might be the Kingstom media card reader, and wrong place to boot
from?

I unplugged the card reader and it booted ok. Audacious worked with the
volume slider where it use to be. Sound Juicer could find the CD.

And how can it be an upgrade report?

It used to work with Alsa 1.0.18. After upgrade to 1.0.19 the failing boots
started to appear. The other day a huge bundle of upgrades got installed, it
can be a problem with just about any of the packages.

Hi,

adding to this (hardware bugs are likely to be fixed with newer kernels) you 
are also running a custom kernel ("2.6.28.9-1-custom"), thus closing this bug 
as invalid.


cheers,
