Public bug reported: Having upgraded a Dell PowerEdge from hardy to lucid we found it unable to boot, instead falling to an initramfs with an error that it couldn't find the root filesystem. blkid -p on the boot device claimed ambivalent results due to multiple filesystem signatures.
Simply removing the (two) incorrect VFAT signatures on the device with wipefs allowed the system to boot normally. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: util-linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: ubuntu => util-linux (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837946 Title: Lucid cannot boot from filesystems with multiple signatures To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/837946/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
