Comment 39 for bug 358654

The posted solution does work on this instance of 10.04 LTS Desktop. The "house of cards?
1) Beginning the bug killing at the bottom -- answers #125176 was a false start and not necessary ["fsck -f" cleaned up /boot filesystem after #4) below].
2) Access to former rev 2.6.32-23 in /boot failed -- unknown reason at this moment.
3) Access to live Ubuntu problematic --
3.a) boot from catalog of OS revs via PXE failed -- unknown reason
3.b) boot from 10.04.1 Desktop on CD frequently failed -- CD/DVD & BIOS hdwr problem to identify CD as "bootable media"
4) support for LVM not std for live OS -- need to install lvm2 per linuxwave at:
     http://linuxwave.blogspot.com/2007/11/mounting-lvm-disk-using-ubuntu-livecd.html
5) partial solution using update-initramfs failed -- no improvement
Full solution posted above under "The solution is..." using live OS, install lvm2, and "dpkg --configure" does work around this bug.

I do agree this bug is not for the "faint-of-heart" crowd. Fixing the bug and moving it into distribution quickly seems important. I do wonder what is unique to my configuration that initiated this bug, and why a 9.04 bug gets into 10.04 a year(+) later. Without launchpad [and linuxwave?] this host needed re-installation from scratch -->THANKS to the many posts for saving my install!
