I was bitten by this recently. Conflicts between EVMS and the newest kernel version were causing my system to fail to boot. Removing EVMS did not initially fix the problem because it only updated the -generic initramfs rather than the -386 one which is the one I was currently booting. Whether or not previous versions should have their initramfs updated, it is abundantly clear that this should happen with all current versions and not just one.
In this case, doing otherwise resulted in a system which would not boot the default kernel until the initramfs was rebuilt by hand. That is fundamentally broken, and honestly, the severity of this bug is set too low given the potential consequences of running a kernel with whose initramfs either does not contain needed drivers or which contains drivers whose corresponding components have been removed. -- update-initramfs should update all initrds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45225 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
