Public bug reported: I dist-upgraded to Intrepid from Hardy, but now I cannot boot using the Intrepid kernel (2.6.27-6-generic). Reiserfs reports an unreadable block and kicks me to a root shell. Dmesg reports errors of the following kind (full file attached):
[ 23.807828] Buffer I/O error on device sda5, logical block 67360508 [ 23.807892] attempt to access beyond end of device [ 23.807895] sda: rw=0, want=156296315, limit=153774180 . . . The block that reiserfs reports is bad is block 16840127, and indeed running the following command fails and produces more dmesg errors: dd if=/dev/sda5 of=/root/block bs=4096 count=1 skip=16840127 But the above command (as well as booting in general) works fine using the Hardy kernels. Here is fdisk -l output: Disk /dev/sda: 78.7 GB, 78732380160 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9572 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xe686f016 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 1216 9767488+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1281 9729 67866592+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda4 * 1217 1280 514080 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda5 1344 9729 67360545 83 Linux /dev/sda6 1281 1343 505984+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris And here is my fstab file: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda1 UUID=3415ef48-c558-4546-8779-95d03f4a9e82 / reiserfs notail,noatime 0 1 # /dev/sda4 UUID=4464-0805 /dos vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 # /dev/sda5 UUID=aa668c2e-2439-41b3-89f7-cf7069b51970 /home reiserfs defaults,noatime 0 2 # /dev/sda6 UUID=9b024922-9749-40b2-8a74-c9348639e8da none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660,udf user,noauto 0 0 #none /debug debugfs defaults 0 0 And the dmesg log will be attached. I will also momentarily post the reiser fsck log. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- I/O error booting when using Intrepid kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280506 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
