Bug Description

Binary package hint: mountall

I'm trying to boot an alpha 6 Karmic system (built from repo on Sep. 20, 2009) and it's hanging in mountall.

I will attach both my /etc/fstab and the output from mountall --debug.

I should add, that when mountall is run, the following is displayed on the console:

Not sure if it's relevant or not (not likely) but thought I would try to provide as much info as I can.

For debugging this issue, it sure is.

Look closer. /, /usr, and /var are not commented out.

This is an effort to weed out extraneous mounts and provide you with a
clear and most minimal use-case causing this problem.

Thanks,

Your problem is that you seem to be using an root=/dev/VG/LV form on the kernel command-line, these forms are unknown to udev and thus mountall, so mountall is still waiting for your rootfilesystem device to be ready so it can check it.
