| Uruk | During dist-upgrade, machine got powercycled during package post-install. Now won't boot; tried bootable LiveCD with both old and new versions (10.10, 10.04) - LiveCD hangs on Ubuntu splash screen. Suggestions? When booting from CD, I never see a grub prompt, so I don't get a chance to say nosplash at boot | 14:57 |
|---|---|---|
| enyc | not sure if i'm in the right place.... i have ubuntu 10.04 with grub2... installed onto lvm partitions (/boot outside lvm) | 22:15 |
| enyc | i am finding that if i change the 'root=' argument to kernel it doesn't take effect. | 22:16 |
| enyc | e.g. if i have cloned /dev/mapper/root-0 to /dev/mapper/root-1 (identical sizes, offline copy with dd) and also updated the etc/fstab in the root-1 partition of course.... | 22:17 |
| enyc | i change the 'root=' argument on kernel comamnd line manually at boot... even shows it in /proc/cmdline... but the system still mounts (cat /proc/mtab or 'mount') /dev/mapper/root-0 as the root!!!! | 22:17 |
| enyc | is there something I need to know about ubuntu's initrd and 'mounting the root filesystem'? | 22:18 |
| enyc | maybe it uses uuid somewhere and I have cloned the uuid... | 22:18 |
