Bug has gone away. I did a dist-upgrade last night on my laptop, and it updated a big list of things, including the kernel to 2.6.27.2 (package linux- image-2.6.27-2-generic). When I rebooted with this new kernel everything worked.
To confirm if it was the old kernel that was at fault, I rebooted with the offending 2.6.27.1.1 kernel. That worked as well, and I have no idea why. My first thought was that there was some other, non kernel package at fault, but if that was the case, then why did the 2.6.26-5 kernel boot OK. Perhaps the 2.6.27.* series of kernels had a dependency on another package (udev or suchlike?) that was broken for a time, but the 2.6.26.* kernel did not have that dependency so was unaffected. Anyway, you should probably mark this bug as invalid or suchlike, seeing as I am no longer able to reproduce this. -- [intrepid] System fails to start with linux 2.6.27.1.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
