Apologies if I'm misunderstanding something, but I'm not sure this bug is fixed in Oneiric.
I've tested this in virtualbox with both the server 64-bit beta2 and the daily build server 64-bit for Sept. 27th. If I've hit this same problem, it's 100% reproducible. Two virtual disks, with /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 as raid 1 /dev/md0 for /. /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 as raid 1 /dev/md1 for swap. If I "disconnect" one of the drives, on booting the grub countdown appears, and then the screen goes black. The only response I can get from the machine is if I blindly press 'enter', then type 'reboot', then press 'enter' again, which causes the virtual computer to reboot. It doesn't matter which of the 2 disks I 'disconnect.' So far, this has happened 100% of boot attempts. If I reattach the disk, it boots fine. Apologies if I've misunderstood something. I can do some virtualbox testing if that would help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778520 Title: install on degraded raid1 does not boot, drops to initramfs shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/778520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
