2006-04-05 21:48:11 Carthik Sharma description I dist-upgrade to dapper from Hoary. Upon rebooting into the 2.6.15-19-686 kernel, the boot process stopped at loading the /root/ directory and dropped me into a BusyBox terminal prompt. The error message was "ALERT! /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" I later tried booting into the older 2.6.12-10-686 kernel, and there were errors on bootup regarding hotplug. So essentially, I have a computer without hotplug now, where I had a computer (laptop) with everything before the dist-upgrade. Please let me know if I can provide additional information. Any clues as to how to get the information would be much appreciated! I dist-upgrade to dapper from Breezy.
