It’s that time again…
First my grub broke. So I had to type my config manually:
root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinux26 root=/dev/mapper/lvmopraid-root initrd /kernel26.img boot
Then my logical volumes can’t be found. Type this in the recovery shell:
lvm lvchange -a e lvmopraid
I commented on an archlinux bug about this.
And then nothing started anymore on boot, because everything is migrating to systemd (as opposed to systemv), without telling me… Still working on fixing that.
How far into the ten year timeline of that bet are we? I’m afraid things aren’t going very well for my side of the wager.
A late reply, but never late than never.
I really don’t remember when the bet was. I do know that I’m right 🙂
In think around 2006.
What does “never late than never” mean, by the way? Something along the lines of “I’m too tired to type”?
That is recursive reasoning, designed to give you a stack overflow.
And I did another upgrade, and I have a unbootable system again. This time it doesn’t assemble the RAID array (even though the mdadm hook and tool are included in the initramfs) and therefore can’t find the lvm root. When it drops to a recovery shell, type:
mdadm --assemble --scan exit
If the cure is that simple, why is it so fucking hard to get it right? I’m really getting sick of this shit.
