Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Yesterday I upgraded an edgy system to feisty using "update-manager -d".
It all went smooth except that after rebooting the kernel wouldn't mount my
ext3 root filesystem. I found out that kernel 2.6.20 wasn't installed after the
upgrade and neither was the initramfs, so no ext3 support. Message was:
unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(0,0).
The problem was easy to fix by burning the feisty beta iso and copy the
kernel and /lib/modules from there to my rootfs, chroot into it and run
update-grub.
Anyway, it would be nice to not ask the user to reboot UNLESS there is a
working kernel image and initramfs installed.
Don't know if this is really a problem with update-manager, but it's a
problem indeed.
There's nothing special with my root filesystem, it's plain ext3, no lvm
or raid involved.
