I can't seem to boot the latest mainline kernel (using archives from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.18-rc2-vivid/). Here's how I installed it:
$ ls linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc2_3.18.0-031800rc2.201410280811_all.deb linux-image-3.18.0-031800rc2-generic_3.18.0-031800rc2.201410280811_amd64.deb linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc2-generic_3.18.0-031800rc2.201410280811_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb [sudo] password for brendan: (Reading database ... 321448 files and directories currently installed.)

If I try and boot with kernel 3.18, I get dropped to a busybox shell, at which I find that the root fs hasn't been mounted (running `mount` shows that "rootfs" is mounted at / - I guess that means the initrd?), /proc/modules is empty, and no devices are found in /dev/ (although /dev/ isn't empty: there are ttys etc in there). Not too sure how to proceed as I'm pretty inexperienced with this stuff. Would be grateful for suggestions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385679 Title: zd1211rw Stops working after some time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1385679/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
