[Bug 821466] Re: Lucid kernel works on Rackspace cloud server, Maverick kernel does not

2011-09-23 Thread Stefan Bader
Almost forgot about this one now. I think I brought this up on irc and the outcome was rather not to touch Maverick as long as there is the easy work-around of not using device names. So I just close this as won't fix. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You re

Cool. Though I leave it open for a bit. Although Maverick may be oldish, maybe we want to get the behaviour in line with later releases (if only to make it simpler for people to convert). Not sure, but I'll update the report with whatever comes out of it. -- You received this bug notification bec

Ah, ok. So pretty sure this is the result of one patch we carried for EC2. This renames the block devices to sd* even in PV mode. This has been dropped in Natty and maybe can be dropped in Maverick, too. Though generally (since the device name has not been that stable in history), if you can avoid

Stefan, You asked for /proc/partitions and /proc/device after the broken boot. There is no /proc/device, but: (initramfs) cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name

apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: I have a Rackspace cloud server which started its life as Lucid. Recently, Rackspace offered to turn over control of the kernel to users via pv-grub per http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/linux_kernel_manag

Hm, ok. I was asking because both the example of the grub config and the attached dmesg were showing a -server kernel for 2.6.32. And yes, both /proc/partitions and /proc/device would be interesting if possible in the broken case. At least (not familiar with the interfaces rackspace provides) a

Can you confirm that you are running a virtual kernel flavour? This is not immediately visible from the messages here. The difference would be that for -server the xen_blkfront driver is built as a module while -virtual got it built-in. So when booting a -virtual kernel, you will see no module load
