I ran into this as well. I think it actually is a legitimate issue
because if you run into a problem with the lucid kernel, it is entirely
sensible that you'd want to boot an earlier kernel version and have it
work. I ran into this in a Hardy -> Lucid upgrade.
You can workaround it by issuing the following commands at the tty
emergency console;
mount -n -o remount,rw /
mkdir /var/run/network
/etc/init.d/networking restart
mkdir /dev/pts
mount /dev/pts
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
mkdir /dev/shm
mount /dev/shm
You should be able to ssh into the server like usual and start up any
other services that may not be running.
** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Confirmed
