Well, this week isn't starting too well.
Yesterday, I decided to upgrade the home server from Ubuntu breezy to dapper.
Usually those upgrades seem to go well, but I seem to have run into a
bug in the code which generates the initramfs which caused it to leave
out the code needed to understand lvm, so I can't boot.
I'm currently downloading a dapper install disk to (hopefully) use as
rescue disk. I've found some indications that I should be able to
escape out to a shell early in the install process, mount the LVM
volume, chroot, and re-install the kernel package to fix it.
So I'm starting the week with crossed fingers, hoping that I don't
have to rebuild the system from backups.
Can't you just select an older kernel from the grub menu?
If you did "apt-get dist-upgrade" the older kernels should
still be there. (I assume that's what you did, since you're
only downloading the install disk after the fact.)
Cheers,
Tanner
