[Bug 557019] [NEW] Lucid Lynx compatibility with Ubuntu environment
Public bug reported: I consider myself still a linux-newbie as I only started about a year ago. I've been using a personal computer for about thirty years now, and still enjoy learning more! I'm not an entomologist, so I'm not confident that I have identified a bug, so I will give you the details and let you decide. I've spent hours trying find where to file this report!!! I have been running a small network for about ten years and when I retired a couple of years ago, decided to move into the Linux world with my computing. I have been running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on my workstations with two of them working as servers (both as Samba/NFS file-servers and one as an archiving-server). On the file server, I ran two instances of Ubuntu on the SCSI Hard Disk and kept them both current and in identical configuration. If something happened to corrupt one instance, I could reboot to the second and possibly avoid down-time when the services were most needed. I intend to upgrade all systems to Ubuntu 10.04 when released. When I saw that 10.04 was in beta testing, I decided to download and upgrade one of the 8.04 sessions for evaluation. The upgrade seemed to go pretty well until reboot. The computer would still boot the first instance of 8.04, but grub did not list the newly installed system even though I saw the grub update action on the terminal during the upgrade process. I booted a live-CD and examined the the disk. Originally it was structured as: |--Ubuntu 8.04 /dev/sda1--|--Ubuntu 8.04 /dev/sda3--|--Swap /dev/sda2--| Now, it is displayed by the 8.04 LIVE-CD as: |--Ubuntu 8.04 /dev/sda1--|--Ubuntu 10.04 /dev/sda3--|--Swap /dev/sda2--| I upgraded the system on /dev/sda3 to 10.04. I looked at /boot/grub/menu.lst for this partition and saw that it was setup reflecting both systems. I ran the grub install on the new system and it booted. The first problem was that it could not mount the served disks/partitions. I ran fdisk in the terminal and found that 10.04 had renumbered the drives. /dev/sda is now /dev/sdc, /dev/sdb is now /dev/sda, and dev/sdc is now /dev/sdb I edited /etc/fstab to assign the proper drive and partition numbers and the shares mounted. A second problem was that both the DVD ROM drive and the CD R/W drive were mounted! Both were empty of disks and would not unmount. This problem later went away after several boots. On the second boot, the system locked up during fsck during the boot process. Rebooting resulted in the same. Both times required a forced shutdown. I again booted the live CD and ran fsck on the partition (/dev/sda3 in the 8.04 LIVE-CD session). It completed with no problem and marked it 'clean'. Afterwards, the system would boot Ubuntu 10.04. Even though listed in the grub menu, Ubuntu 8.04 will no longer boot due to the drive renumbering. If I reinstall the boot loader pointing to the first partition, 8.04 will boot but 10.04 system will not be listed. So far, everything else has tested OK and seems to be working with the Windows workstations. It's only been running for six hours and will not participate in the archiving process until 1:00 am. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Lucid Lynx compatibility with Ubuntu environment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
