Same problem here. Booting my pc, I end up in a "(initramfs)" shell; and when I tried to mount a filesystem manually, I got
(initramfs) mount /dev/sda6 /root mount: Mounting /dev/sda6 on /root failed: Device or resource busy Searching in google, I found a thread which suggest that is dmmapper who locks the device. In fact doing (initramfs) dmsetup remove_all I was able to mount /dev/sda6. Note : no, /dev/sda6 *is not* a evms/lvm/dm partition, but an ext3 play partition. And yes I have some lvm volume. After a search under /usr/share/initramfs-tools, I found that evms is called during the boot. So I removed the evms package (I don't know if it is used at all) and now I am able to boot the machine. My ubuntu is not a fresh installation, but an update from an old one. That can explain because I had evms (I don't know if it is installed as default) -- Kernel 2.6.22-x will not boot on laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
