Ben Hutchings had the right idea in Bug#783620. Apparently the reboot leaves the filesystem in an unclean state. The new initramfs is written in the journal, but not on-disk yet. Grub2 doesn't read the journal, so it finds a corrupted initramfs. A boot with the old kernel replays the log and the initrd can be read. It is still unclear why the reboot is unclean at all. A sync before reboot should help. Bernhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
