I installed 12.04 on a Dell Dimension 2400 that has a PCI card driving a 
SATA hard drive. When I boot I get the following error message:

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/82df63b6-8b97-4287-ae1b-db29565f5370 does not 
exist.
Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.18.5 (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5-1ubuntu4.1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs)

I'm assuming that the problem is GRUB is not finding the SATA device 
(although that is just a guess on my part). What do I have to do to get 
this box to boot?

Thanks.
