Public bug reported: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
This has been an ongoing issue for me since kernel > 2.6.20, but it was the (once again) unsuccessful upgrade that caused me to finally report it. >From what I can tell the initrd-x.x.xx-x-generic begining on 2.6.22+ fails to load any of the disk drivers (libata, ata_generic, ata_piix), and this results in the boot hanging on Begin: Waiting for root filesystem. It then drops to a busy box. I can manually load the modules inside the busybox and get the thing to (somewhat) boot, but doing that bypasses a whole trunk full of stuff needed for the system to actually function. I upgraded to Hardy thinking that the issue might be resolved (it first appeared when I upgraded to gutsy), but sadly no. I'm still running with the durned Feisty kernel a this point, and it's beginning to cause issues. I have rebuilt the initrd a half a dozen times and using the -v option it does seem to build the proper kernels into the image, but for what ever reason they never get executed prior to the attempt to mount the root filesystem. ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: boot disk initrd kernel -- initrd fails to load disk drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
