I had the same problem when upgrading to karmic RC1 My setup :
/dev/sd[ab]1 - software raid1 /boot /dev/sd[ab]5 - software raid1 LVM vg /dev/sd[ab]6 - software raid0 LVM vg root, swap, tmp are on the LVM volumes The initrd dropped me to a shell at boot. The cause seems to be dmraid (fakeraid), because when I removed it (using a livecd) and regenerated the initrd I could boot again. If dmraid is installed and present in the initrd there are only /dev/sd[ab] device nodes under /dev, no partition device nodes, so it seems dmraid (fakeraid) claims the disks before mdadm (softraid) can claim them. Possibly useful information: - I don't know if I had dmraid installed under Jaunty. Probably not. - I have an nvidia chipset, fakeraid disabled -- Karmic: MD RAID doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414251 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
