Bug#773646: Backports : linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 not booting dracut fallback
Package: linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/wheezy-backports uptodate 3.16.7-ckt2-1~bpo70+1 Version: 3.16.7 After installing the Backport Package the system cannot boot with the new kernel. The System hangs and falls back to dracut console. It mentions that the root filesystem UID cannot not be found. The system itself has a boot disk (vda3) and the root is on (vda1). I checked the grub.cfg the Filesystem uid's are correct. Reboot to the original kernel 3.2.0 works though. During the installation of the Backport Kernel dracut warns that it can not find consolefonts, ... (the rest I can't remember, sadly not logged) Looks to me that some depencies are not in the package which are necessary when initramfs is replaced with dracut. I am using Debian GNU/Linux 7, Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.63-2+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
