The problem has just gotten severely worse. I did a apt-get dist-
upgrade today, and am no longer able to boot my machine.
At the (first) busybox prompt I type the above commands.
The computer then pauses for a few minutes and then returns with many
messages of the form:
"/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:03:00.1/host6/target6:0:0/6:0;);)/block/sdd/sd1
(10437)"
The only thing that changes is the last number. It decreases, but not
necessarily by one.
Following is:
"Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/root_vg-root_v does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
But if I type
mkdir /mnt
mount /dev/mapper/root_vg-root-v /mnt
it succeeds.
Booting from CD can also give me access to the volume. fsck tells me
that it's clean.
HELP! I'm dead in the water.
