Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
I am running an AMD-64 system with 32 bit kernel and all updates as of today for Release 10.04. I have 2 GB of ram and I installed kvm and a couple of related tools today. My hard drive is laid out like this. sda1 - /boot ext2 sda2 - encrypted swap sda3 - /usr xfs sda5 - / xfs sda6 - /public xfs Installing kvm caused a new kernel to be installed and grub.cfg was modified to make the new kernel the default. The menu entry for the new kernel describes it as: Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-22-generic-pae. These 3 lines in grub.cfg(last part is munged because I don't know if this is sensitive) were also edited: - - It used to say- - - - - insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set eab686fd-b09a-4386-bb51-xxxxxxxxx - - It now says- - - - - insmod xfs set root='(hd0,3)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 83428bb0-2072-4330-b0a5-xxxxxxxxx When the computer boots this kernel, it stop and says "uuid=c239b85b- fbd4-4d6e-9524-xxxxxxx does not exist. Dropping to shell!" and I get an initramfs prompt. That is the uuid of /dev/sda5, which is the root partition. I edited grub.cfg to fix the 3 lines, and put /dev/sda5 on the kernel line and now I get "/dev/sda5 does not exist. Dropping to shell!" I then edited the default to make it boot my old kernel and the system comes up fine. I found the bug when installing kvm, but I don't know if that is the right package to report this under. It may be the kernel, and so I specified the kernel above. ** Affects: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- pae kernel installed by kvm will not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589108 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
