Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub-pc
What happened:
I was running linux-image-2.6.31-13-generic. I upgraded to
linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic using
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
There was a minor issue with linux-firmware which might be related, but a
second safe-upgrade fixed the linux-firmware package and did not appear to
trigger any grub-related activity. (I'd point to the comments I made in another
bug but I can't find it with any search I do on bugs in 'linux-firmware')
I shut down the system, and powered off. Waited 10-20sec.
I powered up the system, got the grub menu and the new kernel was listed first
in the list, as expected.
I hit return to boot it and it started - I saw the bootsplash screen etc.
Then I saw these lines on screen
udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured
udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured
svgalib: cannot open /dev/mem
... some lines with advice about what to do...
/dev/disk/by-uuid/9eccc..etc.. does not exist! Dropping to a shell.
The uuid shown was the correct uuid for the root of the installation (the same
as used by the 2.6.31-13-generic kernel)
It appears that something has gone awry with the grub entry for this kernel.
I don't have access to more detail (eg grub versions) right now.
The box has two hard disk, with hardy on one and karmic on the other and it is
back in production.
I can get more details as required in a few days' time.
What I was expecting to see:
a normal boot
Steps to reproduce
It appears all that is required is to safe-upgrade when you have
linux-image-2.6.31-13-generic installed and linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic
pending for install.
