I compared the contents of the reconfigured 3.5.0-25 initrd with the still-working 3.5.0-17 initrd with 'diff -ru'. My new, broken, config had added mdadm and lost lvm2 in comparison with the older, working one.
I installed lvm2 and removed mdadm. After a bunch of new dpkg- reconfigures, all my kernels are booting fine. I don't know why lvm2 was uninstalled but I suspect missing it was the problem (although I suppose logically mdadm could have been the problem too; I am not using RAID in any way and don't where it came from). It took a couple of restarts and dpkg-reconfigures for cryptroot things to be set up right again. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with ubuntu bug things to tag/change this bug appropriately at this point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157564 Title: >=linux-image-3.5.0-26-generic initramfs won't mount root partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1157564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
