in can confirm this. It happened either when upgrading from initramfs-tools 0.69ubuntu26 to 0.85dubuntu2 or from initramfs-tools 0.85dubuntu2 to 0.85dubuntu3
both updates were done the same day. I can also confirm Cedric Schieli's workaround: sudo vi /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/udev_helper comment out modprobe -q ide-generic then run sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.20-2-generic or whichever kernel is not booting anymore then uncomment modprobe... so you get a vanilla version of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/udev_helper -- [Feisty] fail to boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/76785 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
