For the record, init=/bin/bash works And according to /var/log/apt/term.log my kernel was upgraded from 2.6.31.14.27 to 2.6.31.20.33
After upgrade there was no entry for my old kernel in grub config, so run update-grub and got it. initrd.img was not created for 2.6.31-20-generic during update, so I had to start init=/bin/bash and run $(update-initramfs -k 2.6.31-20-generic -c) to create it. Resulting initramfs still fails to boot saying: Begin: Running /scripts/local-top Begin: Waiting for encrypted source device... ... (process hangs here) So the password to decrypt the volume is not asked. I also run $(update-initramfs -k all) before specifying exact version it updated initrd.img for my old kernel and now it's broken too (same symptoms - "Waiting for encrypted source device") -- [Karmic beta] System hangs after initramfs, md1_crypt (running) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/450620 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
