Yeah, that was my first thought. But IIRC, the old kernels wouldn't
load either.
The problem was that the initramfs didn't have the modules needed to
mount the root file system, which is in an LV on a raid1 array.
Now, admitedly, I'm not up with the latest on "initramfs" but if
it works anything like the initrd used to, there should be a specific
one for each kernel involved and if the previous kernels loaded
the correct modules to access LVM, adding a new kernel should
in no way change that. So, I wonder what you did to break the
older kernels.
Cheers,
Tanner
