I'm attempting to reproduce the bug by downgrading the kernel from the Raring Ringtail daily snapshot (2013-01-07) liveUSB.
Downloaded kernel image package from: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/i386/linux- image-3.7.0-6-generic/3.7.0-6.14 The actual commands are: wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/125442988/linux-image-3.7.0-6-generic_3.7.0-6.14_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-image-3.7.0-6-generic_3.7.0-6.14_i386.deb (apologies if there are any typos) The installation seems to have frozen early on in the process. I'll have to try again tomorrow. P.S. Running "sudo update-initramfs -u" produces the same symptoms for this installation as for 12.04. That is, it displays the following two warning messages: cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of overlayfs cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab and then seems to lock up (I needed to Ctrl+C out of it, although I suppose it's possible that it was doing something, only really slowly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932663 Title: kernel upgrade failed on a USB live system created by usb-creator To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/932663/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
