I should point out that labelling this as related to the "mountall" package is only a guess. The problem could be devtmpfs or udev or something else in that area.
I have noted that if I press "M" (maintenance shell), then type "mount" it shows that "/dev/sda5" *is* mounted as the rootfs. And I can see the expected files (including my modifications to files in /etc). However doing "ls /dev/sd*" shows no disk device nodes. So it would appear that device enumeration is working correctly, and that in do_mounts.c, the code successfully iterates over the detected devices and matches the right device structure for "root=/dev/sda5", resulting in a successfully-mounted root. However whatever is responsible for actually creating the /dev/sda5 device node is not functioning, and this is confusing things later. -- cannot boot custom kernel with no initrd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575666 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
