[Bug 268123] Re: Intrepid: it is not possible to mount ntfs partitions from the initrd

[Agostino Russo]

** Description changed:

  RELEASE: Intrepid
  CD/DVD VARIANT: Wubi-8.10-rev507.exe
  ISO BUILD: 20080909
  
  SYMPTOMS: Wubi downloads the files correctly starts the reboot process
  and upon reboot displays ubuntu correctly.  However once started it
  initialises the kernel and drops into initramfs.
  
  CAUSE: Fails to mount sda1
  
- STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- 1/ download the latest version of Wubi and install
- 2/ See it drop into initramfs upon reboot.
+ EDIT (ago):
+ The issue is more generic, ntfs partitions cannot be mounted from any 2.6.27 initrd
+ To reproduce, boot with break=mount and try to mount manually an ntfs partition (also in vm)

+ Mounting ntfs partitions from a fully booted system works well, mounting other file systems from initrd works well.
