Hi,
I can confirm this bug in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on a Toshiba Satellite 300CDS.
I had the same behaviour described above: the boot process for kernel
image 2.6.24.-23-386 drops into an initramfs shell because the root
partition can't be mounted. This initramfs shell is missing all hdd
devices such as /dev/hdax or /dev/sdax.
After reading this bug, I could fix the problem by:
1) Adding "ide-generic" and "ide-disk" to /etc/modules
2) Adding ""ide-generic" and "ide-disk" to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
3) Regenerating the initramfs image by using the commands:
update-initramfs -d -k 2.6.24-23-generic
update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.24-23-generic
(it may be more correct to use the "-u" option but I wanted to be sure that
the old image was really gone.)
4) Reboot
