[Bug 1317437] Re: wubi kernel option "rw" required

 

This bug is being reported to happen also after a clonezilla based
installation for Trusty.

"""
The issue with /tmp will timeout and continue to boot, / will hand the boot up unless there is some user intervention to continue the boot. The work around I mentioned came from a suggestion in the ‘askubuntu’ link listed below. What we did was modify /etc/grub.d/10_linux changing ‘ro’ to ‘rw’, but with the thought that this is just a temp patch with possible (unknown) downstream impact.

(can't boot from kernel 3.13.0.24 after upgrade to ubuntu 14.04 LTS but able to boot with kernel 3.11.0.20).

Rebooting the system to get to the boot menu, I used the 'e' option to modify the parameters changing 'ro' to 'rw' as suggested in the 2nd thread. This temporary change allowed the system to boot.

Title:
  wubi kernel option "rw" required

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  We have installed ubuntu beta-64amd.iso (trusty tahr) as wubi on a
  windows 8.1.

  Since upgrade
   * busybox-initramfs from "1.20.0-8.1ubuntu1" to "1.21.0-1ubuntu1"
   * busybox-static from "1.20.0-8.1ubuntu1" to "1.21.0-1ubuntu1"
  the wubi installation won't work / start and ends with the massage:
  "Bei der Ueberpruefung des Laufwerkes auf / wurden schwere Fehler gefunden"

  "key: »I« zum Ignorieren, »S« ueberspringt das Einhaengen, »M« fuer
  manuelle Wiederherstellung"

  Changing the sequence of "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" inside the line:
   * linux	/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=B65449E05449A449 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro   quiet splash $vt_handoff
  into
   * linux	/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=B65449E05449A449 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk rw  quiet splash $vt_handoff
  (kernel option »ro« into »rw«) lets start the wubi installation without any restrictions.
