Added the grub menu.lst. The rest is output from the system when booted from USB: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bug$ tar tvf files.tar -rw-r--r-- ubuntu/ubuntu 275 2008-12-06 13:20 blkid.txt -rw-r--r-- ubuntu/ubuntu 1322 2008-12-06 13:24 df-h.txt -rw-r--r-- ubuntu/ubuntu 45708 2008-12-06 13:25 dmesg.txt -rw-r--r-- ubuntu/ubuntu 86 2008-12-06 13:24 etc-fstab.txt -rw-r--r-- ubuntu/ubuntu 1864 2008-12-06 13:25 lspci.txt -rw-r--r-- ubuntu/ubuntu 4855 2008-12-06 13:20 menu.lst
** Description changed: Installed 8.10 2.6.27-7 on a ASUS M2N68-VM with Samsung 500GB disk and a IDE DVD RW. AMD Athlon64 X2 4850e. On-board Nvidia GeForce 7050PV GPU. 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 seems 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. + Related (at least it seems to): + http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-965678.html + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/290153 + http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195&page=28 + http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-981159.html ** Attachment added: "files.tar" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20258384/files.tar -- 8.10 2.6.27 boot failed, doesn't find /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
