[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

Recent releases of Ubuntu have much better initramfs handling; I'm assuming this bug is fixed. If you encounter other bugs in current Ubuntu releases, please continue to file bug reports about them. ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: i

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

Just for the record: Here the solution seemed to be to remove all entries containing pata_via from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local I probably had added it before in response to bug 213639 (or for some other obscure reason), though I couldn't remember it anymore. I noticed I could start the new k

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

This bug is, as the title "initramfs not generated correctly on dist- upgrade" says, about a broken initramfs when upgrading from a release to another, which is resolved by regenerating the initramfs. Please understand that if a live CD does not boot, it is off-topic and just adds confusion to this

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

Yes, research shows this appears to be a chronic Dual CPU problem with Linux mis-handling initiation for various devices [media card readers, HDMA speed, DVD/hard disk controls, NICs]. Doubt BIOS has any effect. I too had no trouble back in May with the 'live-cd' and eventually configured my 160G

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

On another forum, I found detail on a workaround near the end. In grub, replace "quiet splash" with "all_generic_ide", and once the system is up, do likewise in /boot/grub/menu.lst See that post for details if this is unfamiliar. -- initramfs no

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

I'm having the same issue with a Vostro 200. Weird thing is that it worked fine for a while (couple of weeks, occasional use) but now is completely hosed. LiveCD won't boot (disk has fresh install of Vista - it's 160GB). Alternate installer CD installs fine (to a different disk, complete erase-an

As stated, I searched everywhere and find varying platform scenarios that experience this condition. [Unless I'm missing something] this Bug 32123 is reported a kernel issue [linked to milestone ubuntu 6.06], someone felt it needs that level support. I'm new to Ubuntu, not systems. The right grou

Yea, live CD does not boot (80/20 rule)! I do have the installed system working by booting recovery [check /etc/fstab and mtab]. Problem occurs on newer combined DVD/Hard drive "SATA controls" that can't determine what HDMA? speed [most times]. [not sure about technical details but this is the co

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

Found Dell/Vostro machine w/Ubuntu login screen this AM. I assume a power flicker led to reboot and initramfs loop eventually ended! With this opportunity, I picked up 61 updates [10AM today] most installed, some errors noted. Checked again got 11 w/errs. Then got 33 more updates that installed c

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

I'm a new user, who partitioned [160GB] and installed 8.04 AMD dual boot [w/XP] on Dell/Vostro machine (much fun). Now, Ubuntu won't reboot and NONE of the Live CDs will either. GRUB is working fine (wherever that resides) so XP comes up. Basically, initramfs "hangs", followed by repeated ATA0 ..

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

I suspect that the problems in that I had setup two kernel "generic" and "server". The process of "Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ..." generates "initramfs" only for "kernel-server", in this case. You can'll see from the file named "apt-term.log" from http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12831

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

I looked at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev and I think this is what happened in Boris' case: He did not have /etc/udev/rules.d/05-udev- early.rules for some reason (beyond me) and since the script sets -e, it just stops at the first error and will not continue copying other udev rules and th

[Bug 32123] Re: initramfs not generated correctly on dist-upgrade

Bug 223066 (which I just filed a few days ago) may be a duplicate of this issue. I saw the exact same behavior when upgrading from Fiesty to Gutsy. I continued running with the fiesty kernel (2.6.20.15 I believe is the only one that continues to boot), and I am still doing so even after upgrading
