I have this problem with Sandisk SSD on a 2 port SATA/PCI card. Works fine with a standard SATA drive but fails with the above error with the SSD. Ubuntu 14.04.1 32-bit.

My Sata controller is a Silicon Image 3114 This happens with any .35 version of the kernel, live-cd iso, alt. iso (multiple dailies), and on installed Maverick test rig. I've tried 2.6.35-2 , -3, rc3, -999, all fail to boot to install on sata drive. Message is: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/167aa185-9a1c-490f-8887-310c18a6b21b does not exist. Dropping to a shell! Busy Box etc. etc. initramfs_ ls /dev only shows my ide drives, cat /proc/modules shows the sata_sil there. I've checked my uuid's, and my grub.cfg for correctness and no errors I can boot to the 2.6.34-5 kernel and all is well. The live-cd and alt.iso both boot and work but cannot detect sata drives. I have attached the .log files from the live-cd session because I couldn't get the info I needed from the initramfs shell even booting from debug parameter. I will try again if need be, but the dmesg.log seems to show the sata error. I'm also giving the output from fdisk -l from the live-cd and the booted .34-5 kernel to clarify the issue.
