I've updated the description, since the problem isn't limited to upgrades to precise.
** Description changed: - Once again booting from RAID is broken. + Booting from RAID is often broken after upgrades or fresh installations + of Ubuntu. - There were similar bugs in Jaunty, Karmic, and Lucid. - I don't recall encountering this error in Natty. - It was definetly not present in Oneiric. + initramfs is not activating RAID devices. Steps to reproduce: - 1. Upgrade to Precise (fresh install not tested, but likely has the same problem) + 1. Upgrade or Install Ubuntu on a RAID 2. Reboot - 3. Observe failure to find root and drop to busybox - - initramfs is not loading dmraid and therefore fails to boot. + 3. Observe failure to find root drive and drop to busybox To work around this, when given the busybox prompt enter: dmraid -ay - and verify that your raid devices are initialized, thn enter: + Verify that all of your raid devices are initialized, then enter: exit - and booting should continue. + Booting should then continue. + + See comment #2 for a persistent (rebootable) workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931929 Title: root on RAID:0 fails to boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dmraid/+bug/931929/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
