Greetings, I hastily tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 14.04 using do-relase-upgrade It turned out to be a bad idea. Now after boot I get something like "can not mount /" and then it suggests that I will type (among other things) M for maintenance (start a shell) First flaw I noticed is missing init functions typically in /lib/lsb/init_functions.d I also noticed that init_functions file is not up to date so I copied them from a stable14.04 installation. This operation enabled running them scripts in /etc/init.d and also the service command. Also I had to create a directory /run/network so ifup -a will start. Still I couldn't figure out what step in the boot process I am missing that fails to mount / Currently I setup the services on this server manually including: mount -rw,remount / mountall networking ifup -a // Had to do it separately. smbd nmbd ssh postgresql-8.4 apache2
the server is running in full but I guess it has some security issues. I can not use the init command (i.e. init 2) to initiate the machine. It reboots and I have to start all over again. I intend to install a new server instead but for curiosity sake I want to keep the bad server in order to learn more about upstart. I did not find any articles about boot sequence with upstart other than how to build rc files and a few about the conf files in /etc/init Will appreciate some good reading on the subject. Thanks.
