It's this bug I stumbled into: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214311#c9
Adding "intel_iommu=on iommu=pt" to the kernel parameters in grub made the system find the disks again. I'm unsure if/where/how this could be tackled so that others don't stumble into the issue and have it fixed for good. At least this is a confirmation that this didn't appear with the toolchain in 22.04 but only after the upgrade to 24.04, and it doesn't even seem to be kernel related because the kernel from 22.04 did boot fine with 24.04 if the *old* initrd.img was used, but not the one regenerated in 24.04. ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #214311 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214311 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2076912 Title: broken initrd.img after upgrade to 24.04 Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I had to upgrade a system from 22.04 to 24.04. So far, so good. Only after the reboot I realized I was unable to start the system. Debugging it was very cumbersome because it was over a slow link including character duplication issues when typing. Anyways, I tried to dig into it after a reinstall, and found that the initrd.img got regenerated (which also led to being unable to boot into the old kernel, not just the new one of 24.04). So another reinstall later I made sure to copy away the working initrd.img from 22.04, and compare it to the one (re)generated by 24.04. It contained about 500 less lines in the output of lsinitramfs. The system contains hardware raid. grub is able to see the disks, only the (broken) initrd.img isn't able to see the disks anymore. blkid gives no output at all in the shell I'm dropped into. The server is needed for production purposes, so I had reinstalled once again to 22.04 to continue working. I have copied off both of the initrd.img files for the 5.15.0-118-generic kernel, both the one that was generated for 22.04, and the one that was re-generated in the upgrade process to 24.04.
