Did you do a full re-install ? basically some where in the reinstall process the OS / boot up process is not able to identify which partition is the one to refer to. The UUID's have replaced the /dev/sdx/ and the UUID's are not correctly set up. So one easy way is to set it up such that the OS / boot process can reidentify the correct partition If you google you will get a lot of SOLVED results so am just posting some links here for you to follow 1. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades - this seems a very good starting point 2. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/dropped-into-busybox-shell-after-modifying-install-597774/ 3. * http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813090* am also posting one solution, that i know works because it was what i did to rectify another system ** *from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813090 Re: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx$ does not exist* ------------------------------ The content of your "/etc/fstab" file might also be relevant. Sometimes the entries in fstab will be changed so that instead of referring to a device path (like "/dev/sda1") they will be switched to a UUID version (like "UUID=1b5a38ca-9f0d-4f1a-8fc1-7c418e79bf07"). The previous device mapping will be listed on the line above, commented-out. In the past I've switched the UUID back to the device path without problems. So I would check "/etc/fstab" and if it contains UUID listings for mountpoints, change them back to device paths (backup your fstab first, of course!). See also this post<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=747249> . Since you can't boot into Linux, you'll have to boot into a LiveCD, mount the drive, and make the changes from there. Let us know if you need any of these instructions to be more explicit. ** Ram _________________________________________________________ http://www.munsiari.com <http://www.munsiari.com/?q=node/22>
