Hi Leann, I'm responding to you rather than on the bug report page because I'm not sure if this relates directly to this bug or not. I solved the problem, for my system, of not being able to boot after a kernel upgrade. I'm now running Hardy Heron with the 2.6.24-19 kernel and have successfully upgraded with each kernel offered on the Ubuntu updates.
With each kernel upgrade, I have to edit my menu.lst file before rebooting. Attached is part of the menu.lst file that resulted from the upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy which caused the first incident of not being able to boot. A wrong "root=" id was placed in the file by the upgrade process. Now, whenever the kernel is upgraded I edit menu.lst before rebooting and change the "root= UUID =..." back to "root=/dev/sda3". My guess is that the problem happens because my machine is dual partition with Windows XP on one partition and Ubuntu on the other. The manual editing process is no problem, now that I know what the problem is. Thanks for all you do.
