SO I love jumping on the bandwagon really quickly, I am upgrading karmic to lucid.

On this page
and
this page.

It says to add this to the fstab

dev  /dev  devtmpfs  rw  0  0

When I did, the reboot it failed to mount the root filesystem. I booted into recovery and comment the new line and I was able to get back up again.

on this topic it mentions adding this code:

dev  /dev  tmpfs  rw  0  0

Which I am going to try next. And I will report back. Abut anyone have any clue what is correct or what my problem is?

devtmpfs if running Latest Paravirt 2.6

So I am stumped then.

I have this in the Linode Config

Ubuntu  (Latest 2.6 Paravirt (2.6.32.12-linode25)) - Last Booted -

At the "maintneince shell" of my ubuntu when the "Mount of root filesystem failed" my uname shows I am running that kernel.

root@leroy:~ # uname -a                                                                             
Linux leroy.g25.org 2.6.32.12-linode25 #1 SMP Wed Apr 28 19:25:11 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux   

An here is my fstab is it stands now

root@leroy:~ # cat  /etc/fstab                                                                      
/proc       /proc            proc      defaults   0 0                                               
/sys        /sys             sysfs     defaults   0 0                                               
/dev/xvda   /                ext3      defaults,usrquota,grpquota,relatime   0 1                    
/dev/xvdb   none             swap      defaults   0 0                                               
dev         /dev             devtmpfs  rw        0 0                                                
jungledisk  /mnt/jungledisk  fuse      noauto,config=/etc/jungledisk/jungledisk-settings.ini 0 0 

I am still running 9.10, so commenting out the new line, I boot ok. Time to open a ticket? Do I set the fstab, upgrade, then reboot?

Thanks

The solution was to exactly follow the steps. Change the fstab, do the upgrade, then reboot.

Everything is fine. I'm on 10.04 and everything boote fine, as long as I kept my configs when prompted.
