I had bad luck this morning, trying to switch Warty -> Hoary.
The /tmp disk ran out while upgrading, and of course it was the
kernel/initrd that took the pain (and me!). Now, the system is back
up, but attempts to use apt-get give the following:
Ställer in linux-image-2.6.10-1-686 (2.6.10-3) ...
File descriptor 3 left open
File descriptor 4 left open
File descriptor 5 left open
File descriptor 6 left open
File descriptor 7 left open
Finding all volume groups
No volume groups found
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: /dev/mapper/cryptoswap: Cannot find LVM device
Failed to create initrd image.
...
underprocess post-installation script gav felkod 2
What should I do to get back to normal?
[ok, I managed to get by by disabling the crypted swap ('cryptsetup
remove cryptoswap'). Perhaps this would have occurred anyhow; do Hoary
upgrade people know?]
