Public bug reported: I am using Kubuntu 8.10 with kde4
I've Install Kubuntu using the LiveCD but can not get to boot in to the os. When I start the PC, get to the grub menu and select the option to boot. The screen change to kubuntu screen then go's to text mode showing the following: Starting up ... Loading, Please Wait... Gave up waiting for root device. Common problem - Boot args (cat /prog/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for right device) - Missing module (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/3328a24e-ca23-4ce9-88cb-1c90e1588e5b does not exist. Dropping to shell! BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu6) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs) So I type in the commands and this is what I got (initramfs) cat /proc/cmdline root=UUID=3328a24e-ca23-4ce9-88cb-1c90e1588e5b ro quiet splash (initramfs) cat /proc/modules; ls /dev [to long to type] I also check the /dev/disk/id-uuid directory in to see if the uuid was present and it was. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kubuntu fails to load after grub menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
