Public bug reported:
Every second or third boot (roughly) the boot procedure in Gutsy fails
with an ATA error: Ubuntu is unable to mount the root device with UUID X
given in /etc/fstab because the file /dev/disk/by-uuid/X could not be
found. I smell a race condition here where two entities in the boot
process are writing and reading from /dev/disk/by-uuid. On some boots it
seems that the kernel is trying to mount the root device with the given
UUID *before* the directory containing the UUID symlinks even exists.
You can work around this failure by editing the root mount entry in
fstab to address the device by its file name instead of its UUID.
