Chantra's workaround does not work for me either 2.6.20-2-386 or 2.6.20-2-generic kernel:
1) $ sudo vi /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/udev_helper 2) comment out modprobe -q ide-generic 3) $ sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.20-2-generic or 4) $ sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.20-2-386 the system stops on checking irqs, #18 and #17 respectively. :-( I'll try Martin Sousa's workaround: to install initramfs-tools_0.69ubuntu26_all.deb I will comment on something later... -- linux-image-2.6.20-2: unable to boot Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/76640 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
