strange GRUB problem since upgrading to 11.04

[wal3]

Hello,

since I upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 I have a strange problem with GRUB. On first boot, it keeps hanging on "Initial Ram Disk". Then I press CTRL+ALT+DEL and at second boot, it boots up normally. It is always the same procedure: 1. boot -> hang, 2. boot -> all ok.

What could be the problem? It is definitely no hardware error. It all worked fine with 10.10.

Someone had this same style of issue last week. In his case, he had two different partitions with the same UUID.

If you would do this from a boot that gets you into Ubuntu, please -

[Hedgehog1]

Greetings again!

You currently appear to have all but one of your Linux partitions encrypted:

/dev/sda1 - Encrypted
/dev/sdb5 - Encrypted
/dev/sdb6 - Encrypted

/dev/sdb5 is presented unencrypted as:
/dev/mapper/sda5_crypt c5146798-cb83-4317-87f2-ea9107479329 ext3

/dev/sdb6 is presented unencrypted as:
/dev/mapper/sda6_crypt 10119199-81dc-4434-b74c-8e9aba183218 swap

Your unencrypted partition is:
/dev/sdb1 8d3e648a-983d-4d69-aa3c-83798ec4683f ext3

In grub, is is trying to boot using a mix of an unencrypted and encrypted partitions:

search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 8d3e648a-983d-4d69-aa3c-83798ec4683f
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=/dev/mapper/sda5_crypt ro noplymouth splash vt.handoff=7
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic

It appears that here is where the difference in behavior between the old release and the new release is causing you grief; the Kernel being stored on the encrypted partition is failing to read on the first boot.

This is an area where I am out of my depth, so I am going to ask the 'grub guru' to take a look at this and hopefully he will see a solution to this in the new release.

Please hang on while I contact him.

I really don't know. I thought adding "rootdelay=60" to the linux line might allow more time for things to settle down, but I know that didn't work the last time it was tried.

I've seen variations of this thread, and the solutions seem to be pretty obscure. I found one thread where the solution was to uninstall and reinstall a proprietary nvidia card. Go figure.

Some day I'm going to have to learn about encryption ...
and RAID ...
and Windows.

;-)

Thanks for all your replies.


I did:



sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-173-modaliases nvidia-96-modaliases nvidia-common nvidia-current nvidia-glx-185 nvidia-settings
Did not help :(

Plus I do not understand why it always work on 2nd boot attempt.

[wal3]

No luck. Could you tell me how to downgrade grub to the version ubuntu 10.10 had?
I need a way to skip grub then when doing the next updates.

I wrote this post for a different reason but just jump to step #3 here:

Note: Please ignore the rest of that thread, I just used that as a placeholder for that post so I wouldn't have to copy-n-paste everything each time :)
