Title:
update-initramfs does not work on first partition of dual-boot systems
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I installed two copies of Ubuntu 19.04 on one hard drive. The
installation itself worked fine, and I'm able to switch between the
two copies of Ubuntu via grub. Software update also works fine on
both installations.
The OSes were installed one at a time. That is, I installed Ubuntu
first on one-half of the hard drive. I then installed Ubuntu again on
the second half. To keep things simple, the first installation of
Ubuntu is called X, and the second installation is called Y.
The update-initramfs utility does not work when I run it on X. It
works fine on Y. This means that I cannot install a custom kernel on
X. I can build a custom kernel and install it via "dpkg -i", but
update-initramfs will not update the grub config files, and so my new
kernel will not appear in the grub menu, even though the files are in
/boot.
All of this works fine, however, on Y.
update-initramfs does not give any errors when run on X, it just
appears to be updating the wrong files.
