when my newly installed linux mint refused to boot most times and dropped to initramfs-shell i tried every solution i found, like rebuilding initramfs, etc. but nothing worked.
now i found the solution for me: i changed back the kernel parameters in grub's menu.lst. i think, i switched the root= parameter from UUID=x to /dev/sda1 some time ago (stupid suggestion found in a wiki) and it had not caused any errors until the kernel wouldn't find the root device anymore. setting the root device back to an "UUID=x" entry in the default kernel options in /boot/grub/menu.lst and "sudo update-grub" made my pc booting flawless again! (to get the UUID of your device us "sudo blkid") just if this same thing happend to anyone out there.. -- Failure to mount root filesystem, cause unknown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67256 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
