You have been subscribed to a public bug: After installing Trusty on a ppc64el box, each boot drops into a shell because we aren't waiting long enough for the root device:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/d55ef64e-2d0c-4a51-9c6f-20999ee0276e does not exist. Dropping to a shell! The dmesg shows the device appeared at 49 seconds: [ 49.367749] sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 I could fix this by overriding ROOTDELAY on the command line: rootdelay=180 Could we get ROOTDELAY in initramfs-tools bumped for ppc64el? ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Adam Conrad (adconrad) Status: New ** Tags: ppc64el -- initramfs-tools ROOTDELAY too low, box drops into shell during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326199 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
