Package: linux-image-3.16.0-4-686-pae
Version: 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading from 3.10 to 3.16 my system fails to boot - it says it couldn't
find /sbin/init and then dumps me into a "(initramfs)" prompt.
I poked around and the md arrays are assembled, but the LVM volumes are not
activated. I was able to activate them, so all the necessary tools appear to be
there, so it's unclear what goes wrong.
I tried both the 586 and 686-pae variants (this is on an old PII).
Reverting back to 3.10 enables me to boot.
