Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.99 Severity: critical Hi. On a freshly-installed squeeze, and then upgraded to wheezy, upgrading to kernel 3.0.0-1 (amd64) makes the server fail to boot.
I set to critical because it matches the "breaks the whole system" criteria on reportbug. The server was running lenny and squeeze perfectly. This is what appears on screen: ---- transcription ---------------------------------------------------- [ 0.376354] pci_root PNP0A08:00: address space collision: host bridge window [mem 0x000c8000-0x800dffff] conflicts with Video ROM [mem 0x000c0000-0x000cafff] Loading, please wait... Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/b5b45032-88a2-49d9-a598-1e53d3aed2ab does not exist. Dropping to a shell! BusyBox [blah blah]................................. Enter 'help' for [blah blah].............................. /bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off (initramfs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Partition is plain /dev/sda6. No LVM. Following the suggestion of BTS #616689 (thanks babilen!) I added scsi_mod.scan=sync and removed rootdelay=60 and the server rebooted correctly. $ lspci | grep RAID 02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (Rocket) (rev 02) -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -- /proc/cmdline placeholder root=UUID=b5b45032-88a2-49d9-a598-1e53d3aed2ab ro scsi_mod.scan=sync quiet -- resume RESUME=UUID=a6a8734d-eb17-477c-9dd7-cc3ebdbd9541 -- /proc/filesystems ext3 -- lsmod Module Size Used by xt_tcpudp 12570 1 xt_physdev 12515 4 iptable_filter 12536 1 ip_tables 22131 1 iptable_filter x_tables 19024 4 xt_tcpudp,xt_physdev,iptable_filter,ip_tables xen_netback 27130 0 [permanent] xen_blkback 17971 0 [permanent] bridge 66612 0 stp 12435 1 bridge xen_evtchn 13009 2 xenfs 17714 1 loop 22711 4 radeon 652630 1 ibmpex 12802 0 ibmaem 13363 0 ipmi_msghandler 35981 2 ibmpex,ibmaem evdev 17558 1 psmouse 55656 0 snd_pcm 68104 0 snd_timer 22581 1 snd_pcm snd 52823 2 snd_pcm,snd_timer ttm 52979 1 radeon drm_kms_helper 27216 1 radeon drm 163280 3 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper soundcore 13152 1 snd i2c_algo_bit 12850 1 radeon snd_page_alloc 13043 1 snd_pcm shpchp 31343 0 power_supply 13475 1 radeon i5000_edac 12832 0 serio_raw 12846 0 pcspkr 12579 0 i2c_i801 16870 0 ics932s401 13080 0 edac_core 35343 3 i5000_edac ioatdma 37495 12 i5k_amb 12970 0 i2c_core 23909 6 radeon,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit,i2c_i801,ics932s401 rng_core 12696 0 pci_hotplug 27232 1 shpchp dca 13245 1 ioatdma processor 27942 0 button 12930 0 thermal_sys 17949 1 processor ext3 114399 2 jbd 43355 1 ext3 mbcache 13066 1 ext3 ses 13158 0 enclosure 13307 1 ses sd_mod 36259 4 crc_t10dif 12348 1 sd_mod sg 25985 0 sr_mod 21811 0 cdrom 35093 1 sr_mod ata_generic 12479 0 uhci_hcd 26787 0 ehci_hcd 40090 0 ata_piix 25358 0 libata 149043 2 ata_generic,ata_piix usbcore 128338 3 uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd aacraid 72143 3 scsi_mod 162442 6 ses,sd_mod,sg,sr_mod,libata,aacraid bnx2 67715 0 -- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes do_bootloader = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=gzip BOOT=local DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf update_initramfs=yes backup_initramfs=no -- mkinitramfs hooks /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks: busybox dmsetup keymap klibc thermal udev -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11-7 ii findutils 4.4.2-1+b1 ii klibc-utils 1.5.25-1 ii module-init-tools 3.16-1 ii udev 172-1 Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.18.5-1 Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: ii bash-completion 1:1.3-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
