Ernst: true, but that woule be a separate bug, I think. For how to recover when recovery mode doesn't work:
1. in grub, use recovery mode, but edit the kernel command line and replace "ro single" with "rw break=init" 2. You will be dropped to the (initramfs) prompts, regular root is mounter at /root. 3. Do chroot /root /usr/bin/*sh (bash and /bin/sh hung for me, pehaps that was the bug? I used zsh instead, try dash as well) 4. Set network connection (ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.18; route add default gw 10.0.0.1; echo nameserver 10.0.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf) 5. aptitude update && aptitude upgrade 6. reboot -- karmic boot hung after /scripts/init-bottom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430272 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
