[Bug 77737] Re: 2.6.20-* fails to boot in Feisty
I still have this or a closely related issue with the latest initramfs and 2.6.20-5. If I set break=mount, the initramfs prompt appears well before the HDD are detected. If I wait until disks are detected and run scripts/local-top/mdadm, the raids are created, but the system hangs waiting for root device (/dev/mapper/vg00-root). If I set the boot device to /dev/evms/lvm2/vg00/root, and do the wait for disk detection, scripts/local-top/mdadm trick, then the system boots (first time for a month). There are still timing / probing issues here. -- 2.6.20-* fails to boot in Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/77737 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 75681 *** ok this is not related to that bug at all the fixes there dont seem to work. After the message it gives me above if i wait 5-15 minutes it will drop me to busybox with an initramfs prompt. when i sttate 1 out of 10 times its more random. It seems to boot when it feels like it just before reporting this bug it was something like 20ish boots and now it was more like 5-6 (got tired of counting) -- 2.6.20-* fails to boot in Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/77737 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 75681 *** removing ## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro from /boot/grub/menu.lst works for kernel 2.6.20-2-generic here but doesnt affect 2.6.20-3-generic at all it still doesnt boot. I am assuming it worked with 2.6.20-2 as i booted 2 times in a row with it and that hasnt happened since 2.6.19 but i will work with it a bit more to hopfully understand why its not helping -3 kernel. I dont want to mark this a dup yet until i find out if it helped at all or just got lucky. -- 2.6.20-* fails to boot in Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/77737 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 75681 *** Why did you mark this as a duplicate? this is not an mdadm issue its a initramfs-tools issue and if it only fixes the 2.6.20-2 kernel than i can positivly say its a dup of any bug because it should fix booting to any kernel not just one. and it would be more of a duplicate of bug #76640 until i find out more info. -- 2.6.20-* fails to boot in Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/77737 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
