What changes did you make to nsswitch.conf to set it up for LDAP? For
example did you completely disable lookups in the local passwd/group
files?
I could imagine that something in the boot sequence tries to read some
user information -- such as doing "~foo" to get the home directory for
a service account, or converting a UID into a username for logging.
If you've removed the use of the local passwd table, then these
lookups will have to go out over LDAP, and if networking isn't set up
yet then that will obviously fail badly.
I don't really understand why this would affect the root device,
though. I'd expect your LDAP settings to only kick in after the real
/etc (from the root filesystem) is in place. Did you actually make
this nsswitch.conf change within an initramfs/initrd? I don't really
know much about the debian boot process so maybe I'm overlooking
something obvious.
