| srp | sometime ago, a new kernel was automatically installed which did not boot. I resorted to booting the previous kernel version, but when 14.04 comes out I'd like to do a dist-upgrade and I'm concerned the upgrade will also render my machine unbootable under the new Ubuntu. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong with the kernel? . So far, I have looked at the syslogs when booting both the broken and the working kernel, but could not spot the reason why it | 14:29 |

| lfrlucas | Hi. I had experiencied this NFS error 3 or 4 times, after some weeks of uptime: lockd: server zeus not responding, still trying | 15:59 |
| lfrlucas | ubuntu 14.04 | 15:59 |
| lfrlucas | nfs clients show this message, and the only solution is to reboot nfs server (zeus) | 16:00 |
| lfrlucas | any idea? it seems an kernel related bug... | 16:00 |

| dannas | I'm trying to build a custom kernel from the the latest change in Torvalds tree, | 19:36 |
| dannas | End up with "Unable to mount root fs", | 19:36 |
| dannas | (see pastebin above for the instructions I've executed) | 19:36 |
| dannas | Question 1: Is there some obvious step missing when I try to build the kernel? | 19:37 |
| dannas | I've followed the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild | 19:37 |
| dannas | My first theory: initramfs image missing. But I it's present in /boot (see pastebin above). | 19:38 |
| dannas | Second theory: wrong boot-opts are passed to the initramfs script (trying to figure out how to troubleshoot that, I had hoped that I would be given a rescue shell by the initramfs enviroment, but that doesn't happen). | 19:40 |
| dannas | Hm, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set. (but a initrd is still present in /boot) I'll redo the steps once more; this time copying my current config instead of using make localmodconfig | 19:55 |
