2015-06-16 10:22:44 Iain Lane description Every time grub-pc is configured, "nomdmonddf nomdmonisw" is added to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub. Eventually this overflows a limit in the kernel which causes panics and failed boots. Let's only add this the once. [ Description ] Every time grub-pc is configured when mdadm is installed, "nomdmonddf nomdmonisw" is added to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub. Eventually this overflows a limit in the kernel which causes panics and failed boots. Let's only add this the once. I had this in my cmdline linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.19.0-20-generic root=UUID=980689ca-e7d9-4a99-8230-33b8b6e917cd ro nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw systemd.debug-shell nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw [ Fix ] Only add the parameters if they aren't already there. [ QA ] 1. Look at GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub. 2. apt-get install mdadm 3. apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc Repeat 3 a few times. Before the SRU, you should see "nomdmonddf nomdmonisw" several times and after it just once. [ Regression potential ] The script could have a syntax error. It could not work as intended. It might cause conffile prompts. Check upgrades and new installs in as many scenarios as we can.
