Public bug reported:
When you install a new Natty Xen DomU with xen-create-image or upgrade
Maverick to Natty, the system cannot boot because the xen-blkfront
module is missing from the initramfs. Therefore, the root disk device
can't be found.
When that happens and the system gives a failsafe initramfs prompt when
booting, do this:
modprobe xen-blkfront
exit
Then it boots.
To make it permanent:
root@ubuntu:~# echo "xen-blkfront" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
root@ubuntu:~# update-initramfs -u
I tested it and it works.
I also have several 10.04 Ubuntu's as DomU which also don't have xen-
blkfront in the initramfs, but it works fine (/dev/xvda can be found
properly). I don't know what changed.
I also don't know which package this affects.
