Public bug reported:
Several of our Dell Precision T3600 (and possibly all) machines cannot
seem to find their OS partition after they automatically installed
3.2.0-63-generic this morning. We physically removed the drives and made
sure they were in good shape and the BIOS seems to recognize the drive
still. The only thing that seemed to work was rebooting the machine into
a previous kernel (3.2.0-61-generic).
These machines are running 12.04 at the moment.
Essentially what we are seeing when booting the problematic kernel is:
ata7: reset failed (errno=-11), retrying in 10 secs
ata7: reset failed (errno=-11), retrying in 35 secs
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args ...
...
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
It then says the disk does not exist and drops to a BusyBox shell.
Apologies for the lack of full output as I'm having to transcribe since
I couldn't get a hold of the logs. I'm attaching a photo.
