Well Yes I just got hit bad,, I got a new update on a semi stable version of 10.04 beta2 and then got an update released today 4/22/10 of Intrafms and it appeared to install fine then crashed on reboot have filed bug here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/568580 Re: Intrmfs New update borks!! RC1 cannot boot... I am getting the same issue with RC1,, that is the video is set wrong at boot (the screen is displaying larger fonts than previous) then I get a flash like it is trying to reset the video then everything dies.. I have a somewhat older gateway mx6028 laptop with Intel integrated graphics and a new 160 gb hard drive. I was able to install beta 2 but painfully; installing all the open gl updates last.. I was running well and then the Intramfs update came and blew me a way... Just received Intramfs update, within the hour (4/22/10 11:47 central) , installs correctly on a new 10.04 install but now machine cannot boot,, after this I tried the RC1 which just got posted... It is somehow resetting the video it appears as the boot screen comes up in different (larger) type. then blanks and all activity stops,, I have been having similar problems if I apply all updates after an initial install of 10.04 but if I hold the opne gl modules the system will work but a backup taken with Remastersys made after the open GL installs will not work while the one made prior to the open GL install will restore the system so I'm guessing some sort of erroneous HW reset sequence -- Mount Root Files System Failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 47768] Re: Mount Root Files System Failed
I have found this to occur in Feisty. I attempted to update the kernel to that in Gutsy - added Gutsy to the repository list. On rebooting, the boot stops at the point where it tries to mount the hard disc (inferred from symptoms). After many minutes, I get a prompt from busybox. When I check /dev, there are no nodes for hard discs (please excuse the Australian spelling). If I copy the deb to a debian (etch/lenny) system and install, then copy the initrd.img to the ubuntu system, it all works. This initrd is larger than the native ubuntu one. Looking at the descriptions in this post it seems that the following occurs: Installing a kernel from the next version i.e during an upgrade, creates a faulty initrd.img. Booting this new system with the old kernel, then re-installing the new kernel creates a good initrd.img. This is not related in any way to any USB configuration.

I ran into a similar problem - the system wouldn't boot, but stop at some USB HID message, or it would drop me into busybox (similar to Arthur's case here). Turned out it was because I had edited /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf, and set BOOT=nfs instead of BOOT=local (for building an initramfs for use on a different system). Reverting and dpkg-recongfigure initramfs-tools fixed it for me.

[Bug 47768] Re: Mount Root Files System Failed
I have a similar problem on edgy. initramfs stops and produces a prompt on boot because it can't find the root filesystem (root=/dev/md1) typing 'mdadm -As' from initramfs gives errors as the /etc/mdadm.conf file built into initramfs contains only the UUID numbers of my RAID sets. No keywords or anything else like the proper /etc/mdadm.conf on my real root filesystem. If I assemble the md devices manually in initramfs and then mount the one that contains my root filesystem (-o ro) to /root i can exit initramfs and it will boot my RAIDed machine correctly. I've reinstalled my kernel (2.6.17-50-generic and 2.6.17-11-generic and 2.6.17-10-generic), and it rebuilds the initramfs with the useless mdadm.conf I mentioned above. This is with initramfs-tools version 0.69ubuntu20 So i have to manually boot every single time now. Bleah. This worked fine until very recently (a month? two? I have highish uptimes).

The problem is in fact with initramfs-tools, but you can work around this problem by using yaird to generate your initrd. Had this problem quite often lately and searched for an alternative. yaird is a quite good one (at least for me ; and I',m using raid + lvm ; bootloader is lilo). You cannot remove initramfs-tools from ubuntu, so you have to install yaird in addition to initramfs-tools. There are some dependencies wrong IMHO, because with debian you can replace initramfs-tools with yaird. After installing yaird the only thing you need to do to get kernel packages to generate their initrd with yaird is to add this to kernel- img.conf: --- snip --- ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird --- snap --- Just reinstall you kernel package and the initrd should be generated correctly. -- Mount Root Files System Failed https://launchpad.net/bugs/47768 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 47768] Re: Mount Root Files System Failed
I think I have found the cause of the issue. It seems that the udev
persistent storage rules that should be found in the initrd under the
directory {initrd}/etc/udev/rules.d/65-persistent-storage.rules don't
exist for some unknown reason. It is my belief that since grub only
passes a UUID to indicate the root storage device, the kernel is unable
to make the correlation with out this file in it's initrd.
I checked to verify that the appropriate statement existed in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev to copy that file into the initrd
and it does. It may not have when my machine made the initrd
originally, I have no idea.
A simple `sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-generic` should do the
trick of fixing this problem.
attached is the initrd cpio archive that contains the missing edev rule
set

[Bug 47768] Re: Mount Root Files System Failed
I installed and booted Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake - Beta with no problem in my laptop asus w3v. Then, I installed all the updates with the Update Manager. After that, I rebooted and apeared in the grub menu a new kernel. kernel 2.6.15-25-386 - the new one kernel 2.6.15-20-386 - the one that comes with the beta release And when I try to boot with the new version apears the same error described above! With the old version all works just fine. Let me know if anymore info would be helpful, and how to aquire it! keep the good work -- Mount Root Files System Failed https://launchpad.net/bugs/47768 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 47768] Re: Mount Root Files System Failed
on one test machine i have the same problem, it seems to be a problem with some chipsets and newer kernel ? -hal? (hoary, breezy and demudi (sarge) had no problems on that machine). If there is anything connected to any USB port at boot time, i get a freeze at Mounting root filesystem (without usplash i can see it hanging in the USB initialisation), if i boot without anything connected to USB the system starts up normally. But if i connect any USB device i get a total machine freeze again (GUI or not). Disabling USB Legacy Support in BIOS helped as workaround for this machine. Because it may be chipset related this is the output of lspci and others: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci :00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 746 Host (rev 10) :00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SG86C202 :00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS963 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 25) :00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS961/2 SMBus Controller :00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] :00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) :00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) :00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) :00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller :00:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc.

I do have a built in USB hub on the ACER that will not install. It sits on top of the pc and you press down to expose four usb ports. This may be the problem. I will have to try and install with the the hub discontected from the mother board.

[Bug 47768] Re: Mount Root Files System Failed
That's exactly the same symptoms on my system. (bug# 43950) I solved the problem removing USB2 support in bios. But the bug still exists! I expected a solution today updating the kernel to 2.6.15-25-386. But the bug still alive! -- Mount Root Files System Failed https://launchpad.net/bugs/47768 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
