Package: apt?
Version: in Debian Lenny
Severity: important
I have a system running as a KVM guest. It has a root filesystem on a
virtio_blk device, which is present to the system as /dev/vda.
Any kernel update using apt-get makes the system unbootable.
For example, these are the entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst _before_
kernel upgrade:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=LABEL=dns1-rootfs ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
And here are the entries after "kernel 2.6.26-2-686" was installed. Not
only the new entry (kernel 2.6.26-2-686) has a bogus root device
(/dev/sda1 - it doesn't exist on this system), but also entries for old
kernels were changed.
As a result, the system is not bootable.
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 (single-user mode)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
