Public bug reported: I installed overlayroot on a clean 13.04 on a USB drive and activated it by configuring overlayroot="tmpfs" to overlayroot.conf.
At boot, sometimes (50%) there is no graphical screen (in auth.log pam_unix complains that lightdm conversation failed). Also sound does not work (a dummy driver is in the sound settings). Also sometimes the system does not boot (kernel panic: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88013494ffe0). When overlayroot is deactivated using the kernel parameter "overlayroot=", then the system works well. ** Affects: cloud-initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188756 Title: No graphical screen and no sound when overlayroot is active To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-initramfs-tools/+bug/1188756/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
