Me too have the same problem (still), I mean with 7.10 I could use Ubuntu. approx. 1/7 tries (or something like that) succeeded and Ubuntu was booting up. After 8.04 update I can't reach my Linux anymore. During boot I press ALT+F1 to get the console and this is what I get:
-- a clip from a console (manually written, can contain typos)-- Loading, please wait [102.256034] ata 7.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5) [137.378078] ata 7.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5) Check root=bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls / dev -- clip ends Windows works yes, I'm very disappointed to the Ubuntu. :( In my case the 7.10 boot up functionality was bad now its totally dead!
