Just tried this on a test VM, and as expected it failed to boot after
updating.
Added pit=off and it boots, but during the boot it fails to mount some NFS
mounts that are listed in fstab. If I run 'mount -a' once it's booted, the
mounts succeed.
Presumably this is some other change as a result of this update? Anyone else
seen this?
I've reverted back to the snapshot I took before applying the updates, and
it's working again. Will hold off applying the updates for now until I can
work out what's going on.
Any advice appreciated.
Andy
