IMHO this bug is more serious than "medium": my server (with ubuntu 6.0.6.1 server installed) now fails booting every time the grub menu is re-generated as the root directive is false. As a server in principle may be located elsewhere ... :-(.
My drives: IDE: hda (historical reasons, removal pending) hdd (historical reasons, removal pending) SATA: md0 (sda1, sdb1; RAID1; mounted to /) md1 (sda4, sdb4; RAID1; mounted to /home md2 (sda5, sdb5; RAID1; mounted as swap) grub is installed to the MBR of hda (historical reason; moving to sda+sdb pending). SATA controler uses libata+sata_promisse modules. The generated grub menu now insists on directive root=(hd0,0) for booting from md0. If you forgot to correct after generation and this fails it can be corrected (if sitting in front of the server, else you "won" a journey) by hitting e and "convincing" him to use root=(hd2,0). -- grub uses wrong bootparameters with sda after install https://launchpad.net/bugs/21186 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
