Public bug reported:
Installed 8.10 2.6.27-7 on a ASUS M2N68-VM with Samsung 500GB disk and a IDE
DVD RW.
Worked for 2 weeks including upgrade to 2.6.27-9. Suddenly won't boot, dropping
to shell with "/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx" doesn't exists. In fact, /dev/disk
doesn't exists.
Searched, read and applied lot of kernel parameters from various problem/bug
reports. People with exact the same problems have sometimes been helped by a
longer rootdelay and other more obscure kernel parameters. This problem is
fairly common but is disguised as various "This and that chipset/motherboard/HD
problems" when in reality is seems to be a common root problem.
The HW is ok: when booting from the "USB startup disk" I created everything
works including mount of the hard drive (this is how this bug report is
written). In BIOS everything looks normal and all devices are showing as
expected.
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
