I have done a lot of searching and RTFM on this ;)
I have an Asus A8V-MX mobo with SATA. I was successfully running Ubuntu 8.04 on RAID 0 (fake raid). This took a lot of work and research, to get running, but it was a learning experience :)
Two days ago I performed a dist upgrade to 8.10. I rebooted and got the <initramfs> prompt! Uh oh! I was able to "dmraid -ay" and continue the boot!
BTW: The dist upgrade is step one of an upgrade to 9.04.
Here is the strange thing. The upgrade wipes out the old kernels and initrd.img files and installs 2 new kernels. The kernel version 2.6.24-24-generic will boot-up properly and the 2.6.27-14-generic will not!??!
I have tried to "update-initramfs" on the newer kernel (several times) without success!
Does anyone have an idea on what the heck is going on here?
Also, since I have one of the kernels working OK, can I upgrade to 9.04 without problem?
Thanx
