Bug Description

Image: 20130925.1 amd64 server

1. install with guided partitioning, no lvm, raid, or encryption
2. reboot from the cdimage
3. select rescue

It tells me that there were no root partitions found to mount, but clearly there is one. I exited out to a shell, and was able to mount it by hand just fine.

I did notice in the syslog (after mounting):
rescue-mode: no partitions found!
EXT3-fs (sda1): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT4-fs (sda1): recovery complete
EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)

This seems to only happen if you use guided partitioning (normal partitions). I reproduced it on i386 also, and tried again with lvm. With LVM it sees the root partition to mount just fine.

This looks like a systemd bug. udev-udeb needs to ship ata_id, cdrom_id, and scsi_id so that the rules that import them work properly. (It should probably also drop 60-persistent-v4l.rules and 61-accelerometer.rules, both of which are useless in d-i.)

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 204-0ubuntu14

---------------
systemd (204-0ubuntu14) saucy; urgency=low

  * Add 0029-Support-phablet-etc-writable.patch: On Ubuntu Phone with readonly
    /etc we symlink /etc/{adjtime,localtime,timezone} to /etc/writable/, so we
    need to update those files instead if the original files are symlinks into
    /etc/writable/. (LP: #1227520)
  * Refresh debian/extra/60-keyboard.hwdb with latest keymaps from upstream.
    Among others, this fixes Samsung Ativ 9 Plus. (LP: #1229936)
  * Rename 0027-CVE-2013-4327.patch and
    0028-fix-reboot-polkit-permissions.patch to 0000-upstream-* as they are in
    upstream git.
  * Ship {ata,cdrom,scsi}_id in udev-udeb. (LP: #1231230)
  * Drop 60-persistent-v4l.rules and 61-accelerometer.rules from udev-udeb, we
    don't need these in the installer.
