Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-generic
Edgy LVM with a root partition running on a volume group. The only partition not on top of LVM is the boot partition which is ext3. Root partition is reiserfs. This has been occurring for a while and I have just been fixing it each time it appears but is seemingly not getting corrected at the source so... -------------------------- Any kernel upgrades trash menu.lst file. Existing and new kernel entries are configured/reconfigured by the package install in the following manner. kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-6-686 root=UUID=48764611-93ca-4588-98cf- 30de9507ad30 ro quiet splash This causes the boot process to stall. It's either necessary to catch the kernel upgrades when they occur and correct before a reboot or edit the boot options in grub and fix afterwards. The kernel option lines needs to be of the following form in my configuration to successfully boot. kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-8-generic root=/dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root ro quiet splash And I wish the kernel package would leave it that way :-) I am not sure if this is related to this system having been upgraded from dapper (and possible breezy before that) but kernel upgrades are rather impolite on this system. I suspect it might be possible to configure this behaviour using the automagic options in menu.lst but it might still be a nasty surprise for someone the first time this occurs. ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Kernel upgrades in edgy trash kernel boot options for system with root partition running on top of LVM https://launchpad.net/bugs/61911 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
