This looks quite like it is likely related to /usr/share/initramfs- tools/scripts/init-bottom/udev. How things should work is:
- we got the initramfs mounted as initial / - udev gets started and left running until the real root device node becomes available - now udev gets stopped (used to be clubbed to death which caused even more problems) and /dev is tried to be moved to <realroot>/dev. - <newroot> bcomes /, restart udev, and things should proceed from there >From the serial console log of comment #18 it looks like things went ok until the time udev should stop. There is no error message there but somehow it looks like fsck in the new / does not find the uuid link for it. Unclear whether maybe the move of /dev did not work, or did the previous step resolve the uuid to dev without the symlink? As Adam mentioned before, allowing udev to settle helps. So the race is somewhere there. Whoever can reproduce this may want to add additional echo's to the init-bottom script. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/818177 Title: HP DL380G5 root disk mounted read-only on boot and boot fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/818177/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
