[Bug 35866] Re: live cd can not mount root filesystem

[Matt Zimmerman]

There's no information here about a failure to mount the root filesystem.  if you can provide a detailed report and error messages for that problem, please file a new bug.  Meanwhile, assigning this one to the kernel, which is responsible for the video framebuffer used by usplash.

It would be helpful if someone would attach the screenshots to this bug.

** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: initramfs-tools => linux-source-2.6.15
     Severity: Major => Minor

** Summary changed:

- live cd can not mount root filesystem
+ Framebuffer video corruption
** Description changed:

- the current dapper flight 5 live cd crashes while mounting the
- filesystem.  after a long string of error messages, I am presented with
- a root shell.
- 
  vertical lines are present in the usplash logo and text, spaced at
  approximately every 20 pixels.
  
  i'm running on a Dell inspiron 8200.  Breezy works without issue, but
  also displays vertical line distortions during usplash.
