Comment 8 for bug 1236642

Thanks Philip,

I hadn't figured out about the chroot. I was just connected to it from
13.04. Then I tried chroot, but you can't chroot from a 32 bit system to
a 64 bit root, so I am now booted from the USB Live 64 bit install and
have chrooted there okay, but it won't update. Here is what I get:

root@ubuntu:/# sudo update-initramfs -c -k 3.11.0-11-generic
sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-11-generic

I noticed from reading the thread quoted above than someone in August had
this issue, and tried the next daily build and it solved the problem for
him. Maybe I should do that, but then I'll always wonder what was the
problem with this one.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob
