(Run "cat /proc/cmdline" to show it.) Please also send a copy of the /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf file.

Bug#909643: installation-reports: doing a dist-upgrade from debian7 to debian8 ended with a non bootable system
Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? doing a dist-upgrade from debian7 to debian8 * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? # apt-get upgrade editing /etc/apt/sources.list changing instances of "wheezy" to "jessie" # apt-get update # apt-get upgrade # apt-get dist-upgrade # apt-get autoremove reboot * What was the outcome of this action? system boots a newly installed 3.16.0-6-686-pae kernel but gets stuck on a BusyBox initramfs prompt kernel 3.2.0-6-686-pae from previous distribution works fine kernel/initrd files copied form a working debian8 that was installed from scratch with CD on an identical machine boots fine too if update-initramfs -u is ran to update the initrd, the resulting initrd file makes the system in the same unbootable state when at initramfs prompt, it is possible to -activate LVM with vgchange -ay -mount and access the root partition However, ussing the "exit" command ends up in a kernel panic, root filesystem being mounted on /root or not the last lines in the console: done. Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... mount: Mounting /dev on /root/dev failed : No such file or directory doe. No Init found. Try passing init= bootarg. [several messages about ACPI and USB related stuff like usbcore initialization [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ BusyBox v1.00-pre10 (Debian 20040623-1) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) * What outcome did you expect instead? system run with newly installed distribution and its kernel/initrd flawlessly
