Bug Description
After upgrading of a working Jaunty to Karmic final, it would not boot into the system and instead hang in the initramdisk. I did NOT yet upgrade to ext4 or grub2.
Booting with recovery mode reveals that it could not find my main partition sda1 (which contains my now Karmic installation).
Booting into a second karmic system on sda2 reveals that sda1 is indeed not visible any more:
$ ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Oct 30 09:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 120 Oct 30 09:22 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 30 09:22 500a11a1-
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 30 09:22 b17e1aff-
Nevertheless, I can mount my main partition when I directly mount /dev/sda1 from the second installation, so the filesystem is intact.
When I start "Palimpsest", it shows my first partition as "54 GB unrecognized", which is a bit startling.

I have simmilar issue while upgrading. After reboot, it says that cannot mount listed in /etc/fstab. dpkg does not work as the system says it is read only.
