[plug] system hangs after kernel upgrade

[Jon Miller]

Craig,
So you are saying that using aptitude to install does not pass the initrd command?  Can you refresh my memory with either a document that describes this or the command to be used as I've not done this before.

Thanks

Jon

Most likely you forgot to include the initrd on the boot command line.
The initrd is required to set up udev, without which you won't get far.
