I can only get my 2.6.17-7 kernel to boot (same symptoms and 2.6.17-6 boots fine) by changing /dev/sda1 to /dev/hda1 in the kernel parameters.
I have 3 (older) machines that exhibit the same behaviour. A fourth (more recent) machine boots fine, but it has a SATA disk. -- Kernel 2.6.17-7-generic fails to boot, I get the BusyBox instead https://launchpad.net/bugs/59792 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
