I did an upgrade of Hoary to Breezy current yesterday with apt-get, and my JFS
root filesystem wasn't supported:

System : Toshiba laptop satellite 3000-400

partitions :
- /dev/hda1 swap (2Gb)
- /dev/hda2 jfs (18Gb)

using Lilo as bootloader.

The last message before dropping to busybox was something like : Unknown module
not found.
Sorry for the lack of details, I didn't take notes, nor kept logs.

After that, I did a reinstall of the system with daily breezy install CD (from
09/02), keeping the same filesystem layout (I wanted to keep /home), but erasing
everything on the partition except /home
This time grub was used, and it tried to load the kernel from (hd0,0), instead
of (hd0,1), though it found the stage1.5 file on the jfs partition.
Finally, I did another install again, this time using the default partitioning
scheme, and it works (using it right now).
Also, I believe that the jfs module wasn't present in the initrd file from my 2
initial attempts (upgrade and install with my own fs layout), but this needs to
be investigated.
Thanks for the hard work and Good Luck!
