It turned out, in my case, that grub toyed around with root=... parameter in /boot/grub/menu.lst
I have the root filesystem on /dev/md3, this is noted in /etc/fstab and used to be noted in /boot/grub/menu.lst However, after that upgrade, now everywhere 'root=/dev/md2', no idea why. I edit menu.lst by hand and it boots fine. If I install a new kernel (for instance -server, just to test) all /dev/md3 turn into /dev/md2 again. Funny thing is, I never got an error form the kernel as to unable to mount root filesystem or such. Not an error at all. It just seemed to stop at either the cd-rom driver, the usb driver or some other driver. Which is probably just an issue of timing ? Anyway, please check your /boot/grub/menu.lst (you can use a 7.10 alternate cd in rescue mode, or you can check this by pressing 'esc' during boot and then choose your kernel and then press 'e' for edit and check if root=... is correct. -- kernel does not recognize my hard drive after upgrade to linux-image-2.6.22-14-386_2.6.22-14.47_i386.deb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179192 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
