A 2 months ago I upgreded my servers to Jessie 8.0. It's worked nice. Yesterday I have updated to Jessie 8.3 from kernel 3.2.0-4 to kernel 3.16.0-4 but my web server can't boot. The another servers just works fine with new kernel. Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: -Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) -Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) -Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) -Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) Then its go to shell initframfs.... If I go back and boot from old kernel 3.2.0-4 then its boot normally. Any help????
I got this as well. Are you using vmware? It seems there are issue with vmware (maybe older versions) and kernels above 3.14 In my case I removed all the problematic kernels, so it would boot by default the previous working kernel.
No, I don't use vmware. It just worked nice with this kernel, until update. How to remove safetly this kernel, because by rebooting server choose 3.16.0-4? Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply... I hope you find the solution, anyway, here is what I did, I just typed: apt-get remove linux-image-3.16.0-4-686-pae you can also type : dpkg-reconfigure "name of the kernel package you want to keep"
