I saw this as well. lspci reports that I have an Adaptec AHA-3960D controller. Since the device got detected a few seconds after the "(initramfs)" prompt appeared, I was able to boot the system by just typing "exit". I guess the startup scripts will re-scan for the boot device after the busybox shell exits (the first time, anyway).
Isn't the "correct" fix to add this to the commented "kopt=..." line like this? ## ## Start Default Options ## ## default kernel options ## default kernel options for automagic boot options ## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z ## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted. ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro # kopt=root=UUID=d5373d24-cbe4-46be-a4cd-b3457985915a ro rootdelay=40 ...and then, run the update-grub tool? This way, the changes you've made won't get overwritten the next time the update-grub script gets run during a kernel install/upgrade. -- Intrepid ubuntu server won't boot RAID1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278176 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
