Hello. I could not find a thread that exactly matched my problems. So please help if you know the answer.
I have an existing Hardy desktop 64-bit (8.04) installation and it failed boot on power outage. Booting fails on Hardy installation and drops to BusyBox. After turning off splash I saw some messages just before it dropped to busybox.
Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev/
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "home" using metadata type lvm2
Found volume group "root uisng metadata type lvm2
ALERT! /dev/mapper/root-root does not exists. Dropping to a shell!
/dev/mapper/root-root is my device, though not a standard name. I checked boot args and checked modules.
"ls /dev/mapper" shows root-root is there.
"ls /dev/root/root" shows that it is there (is /dev/mapper/root-root linked to /dev/root/root)
"lvm lvscan" shows that /dev/root/root is recognized as a logical volume.
Can anyone help me find what is up and how I can get my machine up.
