similar bug in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/262588 i had same issue.
i typed down what bootup says: "" after choosing kernel 2.6.27.1, after pages of scrolldown, usbhid: V2.6: USB HID core driver (waits a bit here..) Gave up waiting for root device. Common Problems: - Check rootdelay=.... - Check root= ... .... ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/e106675b-3a7d-4ab2-9f88-029edf3700ba does not exists. Dropping to a shell. BUSYBOX v.1.10.2 .. İ look here for that device, cd /dev/disk ls by-id ... (no by-uuid) cd by-id ls SCSI-IATA_SAMSUNG......(mydrive) but there is no device in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ i think the problem is this. new kernel cannot build up /dev dir properly... hope this will give you an idea. -- Mount Root Files System Failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
