Public bug reported:
Hi,
on my parent's computer, I perform "sudo apt-get upgrade" to install new
packages, including a new Ubuntu kernel.
While the system reboots, it hangs on after detecting primary/secondary
disks (HDD, DVD reader, etc...).
I found the issue: the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file is not longer taken
into account after upgrade.
Indeed, when I installed Ubuntu some month/year ago, I had to blacklist some
modules due to conflit with the network card, i.e. I added some entries at the
end of the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file.
After the upgrade (including kernel upgrade), the system no longer boots.
1) I remove the network card => the system boots
2) After ubuntu starts, I run "lsmod" and discover that some module that I
previouly blacklisted in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file are loaded.
3) So, I run the following command to disabled them, taking into account the
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file => sudo update-initramfs -u
4) I re-insert the network card, reboots the computer => the system boots.
Problem is solved!
Thus, I think the "sudo update-initramfs -u" command must be automatically run
after a kernel upgrade to take into account the blacklist.conf file. Otherwise,
it is a blocking issue for many people that are not experts...
