Just to confirm that I've also got a similar problem in that my machine won't boot, drops to the busybox prompt and tells me that "/dev/disk/by- uuid/xxx" doesn't exist.
My hardware is: Motherboard: ASRock-ALIVE Dual-ESATA2 Chipset: Northbridge: NVIDIA M1695 - Southbridge NVIDIA nForce3 250 CPU: Athlon64 Dual Core (3.2 Ghz) Disk1 (eide master 1) Seagate 120Gb Disk2 (sata1) Seagate 500Gb Disk3 (sta2) Samsung 750Gb Currently, following much digging about on the 'net, I've tried using "rootdelay=90" on the GRUB command line and also waiting a couple of minutes before typing "exit" in the busybox shell but neither method makes any difference. The only way I've found to get round this problem is to keep rebooting the machine until it finally boots. This can take up to 20 attempts and is very frustrating. Once the machine has booted I therefore have no option but to leave it on but at some point (maybe a couple of weeks later) it will freeze and I have to power it off (the machine becomes totally unresponsive - I can't even get another login window on a different console). As a test I've also installed Windows XP onto a fresh partition and this boots without problems and seems to run fine (I left it on and used it for two weeks without issue). Additionally since upgrading to 8.10 Audio no longer works correctly, Xorg *still* doesn't drive my monitor at the correct refresh rate, video and audio playback have become jerky and I can safely say that, for me, 8.10 has been a total disaster :( Still at least it's free. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
