Public bug reported: After recently update kernel to 3.0.0-19.33 I cannot start the system. After selecting new kernel in grub menu it shows only "error: couldn't read file"
I removed quiet and splash from booting options and it outputed a lot of data and hanged. What was intereseting there is "Cannot open root device UUID=[here was uuid] or unknown block (0,0)" and below Please append a corrct "root=" boot option I tried and added this option to the line linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-19-generic root=UUID=8873b057-f710-4b9e-9ebe-ce9b0e586cd2 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 root=/dev/sda5 but with no luck. I run knoppix live cd and fsck all partinions but no problems were found. I found similar problems on few forums Here: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gentoo-linux/94418-error-vfs-cannot-open-root-device-unknown-block-0-0-a-3.html and here: http://forums.funtoo.org/viewtopic.php?id=273 The solution there was missing SATA_AHCI support. I looked into my /boot/config-3.0.0-19-generic but sata suppor was enable there. Actually kernel config differs from the 3.0.0-17 only in name and signature, the rest is identicall. I run Dell Studio 15555 and I am able to run without errors on my previous kernel 3.0.0-17 System: Kubuntu 11.10 64bit ** Affects: linux-lts-backport-oneiric (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993870 Title: System fails to boot after kernel upgrade to 3.0.0-19.33 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-backport-oneiric/+bug/993870/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
