Ubuntu 24.04 LTS fails to mount filesystems

Post by nafmo »

Hi!

Booting VirtualBox with recent kernels for Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS makes the bootup fail, it fails as it tries to find the root filesystem. My current workaround is to revert back to the 6.8.0.51-52 version of linux-image-6.8.0-51-generic; this boots just fine.

The root file system is on LVM using ext4; I have expanded the LVM to span two disk images because I ran out of space.

VirtualBox 7.1.12 r169651 on Debian 13 (amd64).

You need to provide more detail about your storage setup (including VBox.log and ideally the output of "lsblk" when booting the rescue setup of Ubuntu in both working and non-working state), otherwise we can just respond "interesting" but not help in any way why some part of your LVM isn't found (which is a blind guess).
