http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/disk-byuuid-does-not-exist/ (german) I get
the error message above directy after booting into the (new) kernels
2.6.27-9-generic and 2.6.24-21-generic in about ~50% of the boots. If so, the
system says gave up waiting for root device and drops me into the initramfs
shell (See
http://media.ubuntuusers.de/forum/attachments/1752674/initramfs.png).

In the other 50% of the cases the system boots and I can check my
configuration with
sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID=1A5093135092F4AB TYPE=ntfs
/dev/sdb1: UUID=b8116d40-b60a-48bf-a387-e525095c44f7 TYPE=ext3
/dev/sdb2: UUID=d4bd4a19-8f56-4c0e-8e7a-742582df5577 TYPE=jfs
/dev/sdb5: TYPE=swap UUID=91cdb49a-f28e-4ce2-b171-baf6c423f31d.
In other cases, when the boot was successful (on the same system) I get
a config like this:
sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID=b8116d40-b60a-48bf-a387-e525095c44f7 TYPE=ext3
/dev/sdb1: UUID=1A5093135092F4AB TYPE=ntfs
/dev/sda2: UUID=d4bd4a19-8f56-4c0e-8e7a-742582df5577 TYPE=jfs
/dev/sda5: TYPE=swap UUID=91cdb49a-f28e-4ce2-b171-baf6c423f31d
(/sda1 and /sdb1 swapped)
sdb1 is my Linux partition (on a SATA drive) while sda1 should be my Win
partition (IDE).
I changed my groot like this
## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=b8116d40-b60a-48bf-a387-e525095c44f7
so, that my boot entry looks like this
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-generic
uuidb8116d40-b60a-48bf-a387-e525095c44f7
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic
root=UUID=b8116d40-b60a-48bf-a387-e525095c44f7 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic
quiet
If I change it to
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-generic
root(hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic
the system doesn't boot at all.
With the older kernel 2.6.24-19-generic everything works fine.
My device.map:
cat /boot/grub/device.map
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
As you can see on
http://media.ubuntuusers.de/forum/attachments/1752674/initramfs.png, my
linux device is not listed by initramfs (it should have an id like ATA
SAMSUNG HD502IJ).
