[Bug 16824] Re: incorrect groot setting after installation
Hello, I've had a similar problem in that after updating to 2.6.15-26, my grub menu.lst was incorrectly written. This is my partition table for /dev/hda: Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 3 24066 83 Linux /dev/hda2 4 14594 117196695+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 4 88 682731 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda61277 14594 106971322+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 891276 9542578+ 83 Linux And my default grub boot option has been written as : ## ## End Default Options ## title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-386 root(hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda5 ro quiet splash initrd /initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386 savedefault boot /etc/fstab is : # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # proc/proc procdefaults0 0 /dev/hda7 / reiserfsdefaults0 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2defaults0 2 /dev/hda6 /data reiserfsdefaults0 1 /dev/hda5 noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/hdc/media/dvd udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdd/media/cdromudf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0/media/floppy autorw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/casio /media/casiovfatrw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hp618 /media/hp618vfatrw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/olympus/media/olympus vfatrw,user,noauto 0 0 none/proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults0 0 So on boot, grub is looking for my root partition on hda5 rather than hda7.

[Bug 71120] Installation of 6.10 requested I file a bug report.
Public bug reported: I upgraded from 6.06 LTS (ubuntu with kubuntu + xubuntu added later) with the recommended command: gksu "update-manager -c" During install, two packages (?) failed and I got a message asking me to report the problem. I'd include the log files in full, but that'd be .5MB, 71KB in tar.bz2 format. >From term.log: Setting up emifreq-applet (0.18-1ubuntu3) ...

My machine failed to boot afterwards (got as far as busybox) but that seems to be a grub/menu.lst configuration setting that was wrong... I'll report that later. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Installation of 6.10 requested I file a bug report. https://launchpad.net/bugs/71120 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 61578] Re: [Edgy] Wrong boot disk parameter since 2.6.17-7
I upgraded to 6.10 two days ago from 6.06. My newly installed kernel is 2.6.17-10. My grub menu.lst also was translated incorrectly, leaving me with a non- booting machine. It drops me in a busybox prompt. The error was resolved by replacing the root=UUID-not-very-human- readable-string with root=/dev/hda7.
