Hi xor, thanks for trying it out again. No the new mdadm package hasn't been moved to natty-updates yet. Since this is a race condition, its entirely possible that something else was slightly different enough in your new install to avoid the issue. While it sometimes manifests with an install on degraded RAID1, the test case is to install on a full RAID1 and then remove one drive. That seems to cause the problem much more reliably. Especially on a KVM virtual machine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778520 Title: install on degraded raid1 does not boot, drops to initramfs shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/778520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
