i get the latest initramfs-tools update

  Installato: 0.103ubuntu0.6
  Candidato: 0.103ubuntu0.6
  Tabella versione:
 *** 0.103ubuntu0.6 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-proposed/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.103ubuntu0.5 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages

so i retried to boot with 3.8.0-12-generic the system still fail and leave me to initramfs prompt

by typing "exit" from initramfs finally after two tries i can boot with 3.8.0-12-generic i redo the

apport-collect 1154800

i must do it twice since i have not any feedback of sent information to launchpad and now i see the result above this comment

hope this help

[mdalacu (mdalacu)]

I have this bug also after upgrading to Raring. I have also tried 0.103ubuntu0.7 and rebuild the initramfs. No luck, at boot it drops to busybox and exit command does nothing, it spawns busybox again. At /dev/disks i have only the dvd drive, not a single hdd is shown.
If i boot the system with the old kernel from 12.10 (3.5.0.26) all is working great.

[marcobra (Marco Braida) (marcobra)]

Seem fixed since the cause of the issue was this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1154972

[mdalacu (mdalacu)]

It is not fixed for me... i have installed the latest version 0.103ubuntu0.7 and no go. Same result.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Does this issue go away if you boot the 3.8.0-11 kernel?

[marcobra (Marco Braida) (marcobra)]

Yes this issue seem fixed, i can boot with 3.8.0-11 kernel

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Can you follow the "Boot options" instructions on the following wiki to enable additional output on boot:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot

As mentioned on the wiki, it would be great if you can attach a log file which may have captured any messages you see. If you are unable to capture a log file, a digital photo will work just as well. As a last resort you can even copy messages down by hand.

[mdalacu (mdalacu)]

I think the problem is bigger because i have downloaded the latest dayly build and booted off the cd. The installer and also "Try Ubuntu" don't see any of my hdds. No devices under /dev/sd*, only the CD Drive.
With kernel 3.5.0.26 i have no such problems!
The MB it is an "Asrock 890FX Deluxe 4", AMD 890FX chipset.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

I'd like to perform a bisect to figure out what commit caused this regression. It would be very helpful to know the earliest kernel where the issue started happening as well as the latest kernel that did not have this issue.

Can you test the following kernels and report back? We are looking for the first kernel version that exhibits this bug:

v3.6 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-quantal/
v3.7 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.7-raring/
v3.8-rc1: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-rc1-raring

You don't have to test every kernel, just up until the kernel that first has this bug.

One thing to note, you will need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

 Thanks in advance!

@Joseph Salisbury
Hi i have tested 2 kernels:
3.6 - boots fine (same video problems)
3.7 - drops to busybox but before it throws:
           AMD-Vi: Event logged: INVALID DEVICE REQUEST

Should i test the 3.8 rc1, i have just recover from a unity failure because of 3.6 kernel?
Thank you again.

[mdalacu (mdalacu)]

I have also tried 3.8.4 kernel, same drop to busybox, same error:
                           AMD-Vi: Event logged: INVALID DEVICE REQUEST
This is the output of lshw (attached) run in Raring with 3.5.0.26 kernel.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Just to confirm, you don't see this bug with the 3.8.0-11 kernel, per comment #42?

The 3.8.0-11 and 3.8.0-12 kernels are both based off of upstream v3.8.2, so maybe this is related to an Ubuntu SAUCE patch.

Can you test the following mainline kernels, just to confirm you don't see the bug:

v3.8.1: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.1-raring/
v3.8.2: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.2-raring/

[mdalacu (mdalacu)]

I have found out a solution for my problem, if i disable from BIOS AMD IOMMU than the system boots with any kernel from 3.7 and up.
If i have the option enabled then the system only boots with a kernel version lower then 3.6.
Should this problem be reported as a different bug?
Thank you.
