    same issue..solution worked for me....booted to an earlier verision and ran the update-initramfs

    nothing to do with those of us still on grub 1.5 as a result of the 9.10-10.4 upgrade?...most of mine are still on grub 1.5 and had the broken with two so far.

    I encountered the same problem after updating a few days ago on my Ubuntu 10.04 system, however my 'problem kernel' was 2.6.32-24-386.

    I booted another kernel from my grub menu (2.6.32-24-generic, somewhat ironically) and used RufusVS'

    Code:
    sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.32-24-386
    to update the kernel image.
    Job done.

    As tkoco said, similar issues have previously been observed after system updates (e.g. http://bit.ly/nlJg7). Looks like it might have something to do with a prompt to reboot the system before it's been fully configured...?

    In any case, thanks to all for a quick fix

    RufusVS' steps worked for me as well. I love this place.

    Re the boot-up error “udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured”

    Thanks to all. From the perspective of a total noobie-boobie, here are the steps:

    1.Turn off and restart your computer, while keeping your finger on the “ESC” button.
    2.When “GRUB” comes up on the screen while booting, hit ESC to get to the GRUB menu
    3.Your current kernel will be highlighted (in my case it was 2.6.32-24-386); use the up/down arrow keys to pick another kernel to use temporarily to boot (in my case, I chose 2.6.32-24-generic)
    4.Then press “enter”; the machine should continue to boot up somewhat normally, though it may look a little funny.
    5.Log in.
    6.Go to a terminal (Applications>Accessories> Terminal)
    7.Type in Rufus's command “sudo update initramfs -u -k 2.6.32-24-386” (Note: you should substitute whatever the numbers of the bad kernel are, mine happened to be 2.6.32-24-386)
    8.When it finishes, X out of the terminal, go to the shut-down menu, and choose “RESTART”;
    9.That should do the trick.

    Re: "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured."

    I am trying to do this on a Ubuntu server that has a software raid. It is not letting me mount the drive because the partitions are raid members. Is there a way to do this??

    (Solved) Not sure if this is a server thing or a Grub2 thing but you have to hold down "Shift" to get the Grub menu to show.

    I was able to boot up into another version of the Linux kernel. If you don't have

    extra steps with Live CD.

    But all I had to do was type:

    sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.32-24-generic

    (the 2.6.32-24-generic was my "problem kernel", do a:

    ls /boot

    to see what versions you have)

    The idea is, there is a special ram-based file system used during the bootup
    process (ramfs) that is a special image attached to the kernel. If it's not
    created properly, this error occurs.

    Let me know if this works for you!

    Where is the karma +1 button? (I guess I would register 16 different accounts on this forum to give you what you deserve)
    This Did it For Me!

    Because I work with LVM, I had to boot from the 10.04 alt. CD, select repair, mount /dev/mapper/*systemboot* as `/´-partition, and entered into a shell.
    First i mounted /dev , /proc and /sys
    Then I mounted /dev/sda1 to `/boot´ - LVM needs a boot partition

    I followed your hints and now I have a working terminal server as well as 16 happy colleagues.

    Did I already give you Karma?

    Re: "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured."

    For those of you using hardware raid (fakeraid) just boot into your alt CD and when you get into a root shell follow the following:

    Code:
    # mount /dev
    # mount /proc
    # mount /sys
    # sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
    then reboot

    worked great for me

    Re: "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured."

    hello, I'm just adding my experience.

    In my case I had BURG instead of GRUB and it seems that it doesnt update automatically..

    from the boot menu:
    -I pressed "e" to edit the boot entry manually
    -I changed the kernel version number to the new one (..24 to ..25)
    -Then ESC or CTRL+X to take me back to the menu
    -and finally ENTER to boot.

    Then from within ubuntu i replaced BURG with GRUB because i dont want this to happen again (although burg was beautiful).

    -Just type sudo install grub /dev/sdX (replace X with yours..)
