I've upgraded to 8.10 today and it's asking me to reboot the system. Again, there's no initrd line for the new kernels in /boot/grub/menu.lst Here's the first auto generated kernel entry: title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=924b1a6f-3d78-4fac-9957-55ffd2ddd0f8 ro savedefault
The kernel seems installed: $ dpkg -l |grep linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic ii linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic 2.6.27-7.16 The initrd image exists: $ ls -l /boot/*-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 507665 2008-11-04 22:00 /boot/abi-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 91364 2008-11-04 22:00 /boot/config-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9261441 2008-11-13 21:30 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1029585 2008-11-04 22:00 /boot/System.map-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1073 2008-11-04 22:02 /boot/vmcoreinfo-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2244464 2008-11-04 22:00 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic According to term.log, update-grub was only run once, when memtest86 was updated. It was not run after the kernel install (ie, after "update- initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic") I've just checked kernel-img.conf: $ cat /etc/kernel-img.conf do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes do_bootloader = no do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no Looks like I disabled grub update... So the missing update-grub is right. I will enable it again (I don't remember exactly why I did that). But the update-grub run on memtest86 is probably wrong. Should we disable it when do_bootloader is "no"? Or should we run it after the kernel images are fully installed? Right now, upgrading at the same time memtest86 and a kernel image, while having do_bootloader set to "no" will leave the system unbootable. I'll let the system in this state for some hours, if anyone want fresh data. But then I'll run update-grub, reboot and use it again. ** Attachment added: "term.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19642540/term.log -- Hardy kernel panic after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222799 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
