The problem has just gotten severely worse. I did a apt-get dist- upgrade today, and am no longer able to boot my machine.
At the (first) busybox prompt I type the above commands. The computer then pauses for a few minutes and then returns with many messages of the form: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:03:00.1/host6/target6:0:0/6:0;);)/block/sdd/sd1 (10437)" The only thing that changes is the last number. It decreases, but not necessarily by one. Following is: "Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/mapper/root_vg-root_v does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" But if I type mkdir /mnt mount /dev/mapper/root_vg-root-v /mnt it succeeds. Booting from CD can also give me access to the volume. fsck tells me that it's clean. HELP! I'm dead in the water. -- MD/LVM boot broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328892 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
