Thinking about it, a workaround would make much more sense in casper, since that's still installed on the live filesystem, and fixing it there rather than in initramfs-tools means that we don't risk breaking normal installed systems. ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu Intrepid) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: Won't Fix = Triaged ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu Intrepid) Assignee: (unassigned) = Colin Watson (cjwatson) ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu Intrepid) Importance: High = Undecided ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu Intrepid) Assignee: Colin Watson (cjwatson) = (unassigned) -- MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292159 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 292159] Re: MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive.
Kristen... I got the same behavior. it seemed to be because I had *two* kernel versions installed, 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.27-11. the 2.6.27-11 version had been installed (badly) before I fixed the mkinitramfs program, so the symbolic link to it from /initrd.img was broken - this seems to prevent other kernels installing properly. I fixed it by running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux- image-2.6.27-11-generic' (note the '11'), which built the correct files, and fixed the link. after that, apt-get dist-upgrade succeeded in correctly installing the '7' kernel. -- MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292159 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 292159] Re: MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive.
The two workarounds together works for me when running in live mode, i.e. 1) kernel updates work 2) running the latest kernel works Including the second workaround, i.e. replacing /cdrom/casper/initrd.gz and vmlinuz with the updated ones though made a following test installation on harddisk unbootable. The message I got was: Starting up ... [9.112117] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) This was due to that initrd.img was missing in - /boot folder - /boot/grub/menu.lst Strange, but adding the initrd.img to both those places made the test installation boot up. However, the pointer didn't respond to mouse movements and the network didn't connect, i.e. got stuck in trying to connect to the network. So I assume there is something still missing to be able to use an updated LiveUSB for new installations. Before copying the updated initrd.gz and vmlinuz to /cdrom/casper installations worked. Furthermore, I also tried to copy the missing abi, config, System.map and vmcoreinfo files from the USB to the test installation but that didn't change anything. -- MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292159 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

Adding the link to update-initramfs is working for me. However I would like to update my kernel. As Colin said update-initramfs should update the real kernel that is located in /cdrom.

[Bug 292159] Re: MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive.
This issue does also pop up on livecds, though its hardly as critical of an issue, as it does not stop it from booting since you can just reboot and restart. However, it does break apt-get. The reason i used the update feature on a livecd in the first place is because ubiquity crashed and i was trying to report the crash, however it told me i had outdated packages. Now, because of this bug, i can report bugs, but apt-get is broken. So while not as critical, its a big issue on livecds as well. Just thought i'd bring it up since all the duplicates as well as this one seem to focus specifically on the USB boot side of things. -- MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292159 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

This isn't limited to upgrading from USB or CD.

[Bug 292159] Re: MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive.
The attempted upgrade on my system then caused the USB memory stick to not be recognized as a boot device. To be clear, this memory stick had successfully been used to boot a Lenovo T500 laptop. An upgrade was attempted, initiated from the upgrade manager, which failed in the now well reported bug. Following this the USB Stick was not recognised as bootable media when the same laptop was rebooted. Rational for building the USB Memory Stick from a Live CD was because core system is an AMD-64 bit version of Ubuntu. I specifically wanted the memory stick to boot an I386 based laptop and desktop. Advantages of having a USB memory stick boot are so many to list. -- MASTER update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD but it is running from a flash drive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292159 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
