Having same problem, was hoping for a resolution ... :)
Details:
Was applying updates/upgrades - saw a message about needing to run lilo ...
lilo said something like (IIRC) /etc/lilo.conf does not exist ... machine ended
up getting rebooted (was fine until then!) ... and now --> Boot menu == "Ubuntu
8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic"
... boot from hd0,5 Ext3 ...
... Ubuntu image, throbbing yellow indicator ...
"Gave up wiating for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args
- check rootdelay= ...
- check root= ...
- missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/15448888-84a0-4ccf-a02a-0feb3f150a84 does not
exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox Built In Shell ...
(initramfs)
So ... it would be great if there was a way to get past this (short-term?) and
a fix so that it wouldn't happen at all (long term).
