Hi,

Check to see if your root fs has ROOT_FS volume label. If not, label the fs with ROOT_FS. Or change grub to use "root=/dev/hda" for kernel parameter.

Hi,

I am booting for a PC with a CF card Hard drive. I completed installation on my Ubuntu standard PC and it worked fine.
When it's booting and it comes to:
Begin:  Waiting for root file system ...

It pauses for about 5 minutes and then says:
Give up waiting for root device (and displays some common problem solutions)
Then it drops to:
(initramfs)

My Grub settings look like this:

timeout 5
default 0

title voyage-linux-19Nov08
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=LABEL=ROOT_FS
initrd /initrd.img

Is this right?
I haven't changed anything from standard installation.
I have searched forums, and there is probably something very simple to fix this, but I can't find anything as yet.

Thanks for your help in advance!
Chris
