Public bug reported: I‘ve updated my home-made NAS from wily to xenial and it stopped booting.
Selecting the 4.2 kernel on the grub menu makes it work again. The working kernel is 4.2.0-35-generic The failing kernel is 4.4.0-21-generic. When the booting sequence freezes, I can have a terminal with the following text : lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit Scannig for Btrfs flesystems _ Actually my set-up is lvm based, and the correponding lines of the output of a mount command are /dev/mapper/clio-root on / type btrfs (rw,relatime,nospace_cache,subvolid=256,subvol=/@) /dev/mapper/clio-root on /mnt/clio-root type btrfs (rw,relatime,nospace_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/) /dev/mapper/clio-root on /home type btrfs (rw,relatime,nospace_cache,subvolid=257,subvol=/@home) ** Affects: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574333 Title: LVM-based server does not boot with kernel 4.4 (but works with 4.2) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/1574333/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
