Public bug reported: installed intrepid alpha 5 (using vmware) for a RAID1 + LVM scenario
removed disk0, tried to boot, and fell back into busybox the problem: for a normal alternate installation (not from the server CD), splash is activated by default; therefore, the question 'Do you wish to start the degraded RAID' times out because it is invisible in the graphical boot animation; the text modus is only activated after the timeout; you can avoid this by booting in recovery mode or by removing the splash option in the GRUB kernel line apart from this minor glitch, everything works fine now as described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/120375/comments/105 --- PS: I really believe bootdegraded=1 should be the default setting (remote servers, root servers at a remote ISP etc.) also: for a server installation I prefer LTS, and it looks like I have to wait for 10.04 to get these fixes included by default; please re- consider providing updates and including them in 8.04.2 ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 'Do you wish to start the degraded RAID' not visible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268873 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
