Intrepid reached end of life some time ago, are you able to replicate this on 12.04 or higher? ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262584 Title: Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/262584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 262584] Re: Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly
Same problem here. I hypothesise that this has something to do with the linux packages not being installed by default. (It was not installed in the livecd as far as i can tell) A solution would be to chroot into the installed partition, run sudo aptitude update and sudo aptitude install linux. -- Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262584 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 262584] Re: Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly
Ok I put the hypothesis into practice, I logged into my normal environment (I had to edit the menu.lst file to do this, but it seems that many people are down with that) I think these steps will rectify the problem, but I being a little n00bish mucked up the order and ended up breaking my fresh Intrepid system so proceed with extreme caution. Create a directory: sudo mkdir /mnt/disk Mount the partition with Intrepid (/dev/sda6 replace this): sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/disk Mount the boot partition (if you don't have one then I don't know what to do) sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk/boot chroot into the mount: sudo chroot /mnt/disk /bin/bash Setup the chroot: mount -t proc proc /proc mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys Install the requisite packages: aptitude update aptitude install linux Its too late to reinstall intrepid to test this so I cannot comment further. -- Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262584 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 262584] Re: Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly
I have exactly the 'opposite' problem after installing Alpha5 today. I do have the vmlinuz file, but not initrd.img! I'm using 64 bit Core2 dual. (I've selected the option not to install the Grub, because I want to keep the original one.) By the way, during the install, I found some mysterious error messages in the Ctrl+Alt+F2 terminal. (Maybe I need to post elsewhere?). One of them is: SQUASHFS error: Can't find a SQUASHFS superblock on sda5 This is Absurd because sda4 is NOT where I want Intrepid to be installed, and should be left untouched! -- Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262584 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 262584] Re: Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly
I later booted into the amd64 Intrepid Alpha 5 livecd (downloaded on 13 Sep), and opened a terminal, typed: sudo find / -name initrd.img* . The two search results are both dead symlinks, with the actual file missing. Maybe it's a problem with this particular version of nightly build CD? -- Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262584 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 262584] Re: Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly
Gave the same problem on Alpha 5 (except with 2.6.27-2. I still haven't been able to install Intrepid (64-bit). It only puts the initrd on /boot plus a vmcoreinfo file, but not the vmlinuz file. When I changed menu.lst to boot from the Hardy kernel (2.6.24-19), I can boot Kubuntu. But if I try to mount /boot, I get unknown ext2 filesystem. If I try to mount the CD, I get unknown ISo9660 filesystem. So I haven't found a way to manual get the Intrepid kernel onto my /boot partition yet. -- Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262584 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
