Today I reinstalled Ubuntu 9.04 and everything worked right out of the box. Then I updated system to latest available version (always inside 9.04) and again it worked as expected.
After that I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 and found same problem as described above. I really think this is a kernel-related issue, because I can actually boot with the older kernel (2.6.28-15) but can't with the new one (2.6.31-12). Please find attached my "lsusb" output. By the way, thanks everyone for your time! =) ** Attachment added: "lsusb.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33319129/lsusb.log -- Ubuntu 9.10 Beta doesn't boot from usb-attached hard drive, exits to busybox console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442679 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
