Public bug reported:
Background: Headless, no-removable media box that has been used to beta
test all Ubuntu pre-releases. Old Celereon 400, raid1 from 'just a bunch
of (old) disks'. With latest 2.6.17-6 fails to boot (boot screen
captured at <http://www.zen35309.zen.co.uk/EdgyBootFail.jpeg>).
DosSegMgr: Warning (about geometry)
....
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel
...
Aborted
No volume groups found
(Hangs here)
Eventally fails to busybox, from which you cannot exit. The only option
is to reboot (and fail again).
Fortunately, there an old kernel.org kernel on the box, which boots far
enough to get a shell, so rescue may be possible if the underlying
problem can be fixed.
Previous Edgy's (upgraded and tested about once a week have booted).
I appreciate Edgy is development; however it would be nice if the box is
not completely fscked.
** Affects: Ubuntu
Importance: Untriaged
Status: Unconfirmed
