I have a completely updated Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10). Recently there have been some random problem. Sometimes when I try to boot there seems to be no activity on the splash screen and after a while it takes me to the initramfs prompt (Failure to mount root filesystem). But again sometimes it boots just fine with no problems whatsoever.
I found that this was a bug. [1] The only solution to get around this problem was to append "all_generic_ide" to the root line in menu.lst. But I read in the bug report discussion that it may hamper the performance of my HDDs (which are already slow). Is there any other way to get around this problem?
