Public bug reported:
I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy, but there were numerous errors during the
upgrade process.
Eventually, I was able to recover the upgrade via the standard:
apt-get --configure -a
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
However, any boot to kernel 2.6.22-14 would display the ubuntu splash
screen, show the progress bar for a few seconds and then drop back to
the initramfs / ash prompt.
I do appear to be able to see /dev/disk etc. from there. I tried
modprobe of various ide modules to no avail.
I have tried a dpkg-reconfigure on linux-kernel-2.6.22-14 and the
associated restricted modules (I used Nvidia drivers).
I have also tried a manual mkinitramfs and depmod and update-grub, all
with the same results.
The machine is about 3 years old, ide only, nforce2 chipset and includes
a promise 20269 with two drives. /root is on /dev/hda7 off the mainboard
controller. I have had edgy and fiesty running successfully on the
machine. I am now using the Feisty kernel (2.6.20) to run.
Below is the results of the info commands you ask above:
