Public bug reported:
After applying a kernel upgrade with Update Manager my system no longer
boots. The boot process dies quickly with a kernel panic stating that it
was unable to mount the root fs. I have to select the previous kernel
from the GRUB menu to get a working system.
Note that the attached logs give the kernel version as 2.6.31-17 which
is the older, working kernel. The failing kernel is 2.6.31-19.
It may be relevant that my root file system is JFS.
