Public bug reported:
Right.
After upgrading to edgy a month ago, I decided I missed the splash
screen enough to look online for a fix. Someone pointed my in the
direction of 'apt-get intall usplash ubuntu theme', or something very
close.
After installation of the package, it started regenerating the
initramfs. I left it for about an hour, and it hang with a lot of
errors.
I got messages like:
generating initramfs: /boot/initramfs[version].img LVM Error: cannot fork 28
cpio: cant find file or directory: /lib/evms/mb*
(These are just how I rememer them, If you want I can get the real
message, I have a deadline to meet, so it wont be today.)
After a small list of cpio errors I created some symlinks to the files it was
asking for, which I found in /lib/evms/2.5.5/
After doing this I noticed the numbers following the errors where no longer
random, they were in sequence.
I cannot understand what happened. I can only asume that I have some
missing header files or something. I have not found this anywhere on
Google
So for now, I will be using the old kernel, but this is far from ideal
as my package manager is now broken because it wants to finish running
the usplash scripts, but cant because it never finishes regenerating the
initramfs.
