We have been using a Ubuntu 10.04 image for many years now in embedded systems. A disk with a working image on Supermicro A1SRi (Intel C2000 series processor) will not boot on Supermicro series A2SDi (Intel C3000 series processor). Again, the disk with Ubuntu 10.04 image is fine and will boot if I move it to the older A1SRi motherboard. The attached file shows the screenshot, where the boot is failing in initramfs. I can provide full remote keyboard/video/mouse (KVM). The system also has a bootable Ubuntu 16 disk that can be selected in BIOS (which you can select via KVM) so that you can edit files in the non-booted Ubuntu 10.04 disk.

Hi. Reading your project and watching the provided graphics, we have 2 theories. The firts one is about missing driver controller so for fix it we need to identify the disk card controller used by the new card and build it for your disk image... but watching carefully the provided images, we can formulated other theory The second one is about the wrong disk identificator because the log message is clear,the init process is telling that the disk id does not exist. So, we need more information, for example: a) Has the new card the same hard disk used by the old card? b) Can you get the disk id for both cards? (you can use ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ executed by root user) If the second one is the correct, your system image is using and looking for the same disk identificator in all used cards so... system will be stopping in other cards because others cards are using other disk identificator. So, we can help you if you get more information and you can provided some kind of acces that you describe in your project.
