Public bug reported:

Under the installation it does not detect my disk so i have to choose the EATA 
driver/module. It finds my disk and continues to install.
After rebooting, and passing grub, the system fails to find my disk.
This is the output:
Starting up ...
Loading, please wait...
               Check root = bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
               or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ (disk uuid) does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

cat /proc/cmdline shows:
root=UUID=(disk uuid) ro quiet splash

cat /proc/modules lists these modules:
ide_cd, cdrom, floppy, tulip, uhci_hcd, usbcore, piix, generic, fbcon, 
tileblit, font, bitblit, softcursor, vesafb, capability and commoncap.

uname -a shows:
Linux (none) 2.6.20-15-server #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:26:23 UTC 2007 i686 unknown

Of course, loading the EATA module manually in BusyBox works. And i can access 
my disks.
cat /proc/modules now lists these extra modules:
sg, st, sd_mod, eata and scsi_mod.

I have tried upgrading with apt, witch installs the latest kernel: 
2.6.20-16-server.
I have also tried to including the modules: sg, st, sd_mod and scsi_mod in 
/etc/modules.

Here are some hardware specifications:
Intel SE440BX Motherboard
Intel Pentium II 350MHz, 512KB cache
767MB SDRAM
SCSI controller: DPT PM2144UW
Hard drive: IBM Ultrastar

If more info is needed, request it.
