With the help from genii-around and RoyK (#ubuntu-server in freenode) I were able to modify the fstab and used /dev/sda2 to boot to OS. Now I need to find a way to fix the initramfs and make sure I can boot back from md1 (root) UUID. Not sure how to do that yet. Let me know if anyone knows how to fix the initramfs. I noticed I lost my md10 raid10. I also need to find out how to fix that. Here is the latest dmesg http://pastebin.com/YHcDbHXn showing how badly md10 is broken. > > >>> >>> >>> -- >>> Asif Iqbal >>> PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu >>> A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. >>> Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? >>> >> >> >> >> -- >> Asif Iqbal >> PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu >> A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. >> Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? >> > > > > -- > Asif Iqbal > PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu > A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. > Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? > -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
