I see where the problem lies. When the installer was going through the partitioning step, the hard disk where root will be mounted was detected at "/dev/sdd", not "/dev/sda", thus the kboot.conf file that is installed has root as "root=/dev/sdd1" instead of "root=/dev/sda1".
A quick fix to this was typing at a command line: sudo sed -e 's/sdd1/sda1' -i /etc/kboot.conf -- Kubuntu feisty boot failure for PS3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
