[Bug 364538] Re: Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT
The script is actually slightly inaccurate as libusual is not a module. But modprobe on the initrd does not seem to print a warning in that case. What was done is to unpack the initrd then look into the file /init and add those commands before the given line. For a manual workaround it is possible to wait until the boot drops out to the initrd shell. Then type modprobe usb-storage, wait 1-2secs and then type exit Using kernel-2.6.28-12.43 or later (currently only in the proposed archive) will make this unnecessary as libusual has been removed. -- Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364538 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
[Bug 364538] Re: Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT
Here is my detailed solution. In a running system, open a terminal and plug the USB stick created with usb-creator for example. I assume that the partition on the USB stick is mounted in /media/disk. In the attached file, comments begin with # and other lines are to be typed in the terminal. You can now unmount your USB stick and try booting with it. ** Attachment added: explanation http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26600238/explanation -- Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364538 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
[Bug 364538] Re: Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT
I found a solution to this problem, recreating file casper/initrd.gz after updating script /init. This update consists to insert the following lines before line containing maybe_break mount : modprobe -r libusual sleep 3 modprobe usb-storage sleep 5 The second line is mandatory to let libusual' remove smoothly before loading usb-storage. Moreover, I successfully performed a non-regression test with a slow machine which was not concerned by this problem. -- Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364538 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

confusador, Sorry, no installer updates are available for testing at this point; the change has only been propagated to the linux kernel packages. Testable installer updates will have to come later, though in any case we won't reroll the install media for Ubuntu 9.04 aside from updating the netboot images. -- Failure to boot from USB - Dell Latitude XT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364538 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

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Jaunty) Status: In Progress = Fix Committed ** Description changed: + SRU justification: + + Impact (from Scott): + The ub driver is an old attempt for a slow USB Block Device driver, + it hasn't been maintained in quite a while and we don't have an easy + way to enable it. + + libusual is a strange mechanism for the kernel to auto-select between + usb-storage and ub. It works by stealing the aliases from them both + and modprobe'ing (from the kernel) the other module when a device is + connected. + + The trouble is that because it's built into the kernel, on machines with + particularly fast init, it could be trying to call it before the initramfs + has even been switched to - or before the initramfs has called depmod. + In either case, since there's no modules.alias/modules.dep files, the + modprobe call with fail and the USB storage device will not be enabled. + + Plugging a second USB storage device in will magically cure the problem. + + Fix: Attched patch to disable those modules. This bumps ABI as the + libusual functions go missing. All IDs automagically go over to usb- + storage. + + Testcase: Booting from usb storage with a quick host. + + --- + Continuing from bug #363038 Pete Graner's problem with the Dell Latitude XT was that the kernel was calling modprobe usb-storage before the initramfs has run depmod to initialise the module db. This was all crack. There's no reason to have the kernel call modprobe in this way, it was caused by something called libusual which steals all of usb-storage's aliases and then modprobes it. The intent is that it allows you to alternate between usb-storage and ub. Not only is ub very crufty and unmaintained, but we can do that kind of switching in userspace these days. Disabling libusual in the kernel config means that usb-storage gets modprobe aliases just like every other driver, and is loaded by udev just like every other driver.
