I don't have a RAID array on my server, but adding rootdelay works:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-server
root=UUID=d1f6f883-efff-43cd-af15-110b79b02bce rootdelay=90 ro quiet splash
SYSTEM:
Ubuntu 9.04

i have block devices found on mdadm raid 10 and mdadm raid 1
rootdelay=40 helps

I've got the same problem on an old Tyan S2463UNG w/dual Athlons running
Intrepid. Although this mobo has Adaptec SCSI, no SCSI drives are
installed. The box has two IDE DVD/CD drives and a Promise TX4 w/3 SATA
drives. I also upgraded to Intrepid from Hardy.
rootdelay=40 apparently solved the
Data point: I see the sambe behavior on an olld Celeron 633Mhz Compaq
Presario with a single IDE drive ;)
rootdelay=40 fixes, 20 did not.

I'm seeing the same issue on Intel Server Board SE7501WV2 which has an
Adaptec AIC-7902 SCSI controller on board. rootdelay=40 worked fine for
my setup.

I have Adaptec SCSI controller too on my old Dell PowerEdge 1550 server and the
same
problem with booting Intrepid. But it's Adaptec AIC-7899P U160/m (rev 01).
I have / partition on RAID1 and LVM. More details you can see reading my
comment to
bug LP #290153
I saw this as well. lspci reports that I have an Adaptec AHA-3960D
controller. Since the device got detected a few seconds after the
(initramfs) prompt appeared, I was able to boot the system by just
typing exit. I guess the startup scripts will re-scan for the boot
device after the busybox
Yes.. on compaq nc8430 the rootdelay=130 does it also..
That is in the boot menu (for not so technical users).
Press e, choose the kernel line add rootdelay=130 press 'esc', press
'b'

I'd suggest it is a general issue with Adaptec (SCSI?) controllers: I
get the same issue with with a Adaptec 29160N U160 SCSI controller (non
raid). Anyone to confirm this?

Hey all,
I had the same issue here with my adaptec 39160 controller, and ubuntu

new releases, however its interesting that it rarely occurred during the
pre-release periods!

I had the same problem.
Added rootdelay=40 fixed it for me too.
This occured for me when I upgraded from hardy to intrepid.

Well, I seemed to have solved the issue, sort of.
Turns out (going from a clue given by the drop to BusyBox) I added
rootdelay=40 to my grub kernel line. It now boots reliably.
So my kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst now looks something like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-4-server
Another data point: I just installed on a different system with an
Adaptec 29160 and no problems. Boots fine. I note that lspci identifies
it as
01:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892A U160/m (rev 02)
Which is different than the 39160.

Intrepid ubuntu server won't boot RAID1
I get the same problem as mentioned above, using Intrepid Beta x64, hardware:
ASUS NCCH-DL, Adaptec 29320-R U320 SCSI Controller, RAID0 of two HDD's.
Note: the boot partition is on a separate drive, not in the RAID array.

Another data point: I just re-loaded the aforementioned Dell PowerEdge
600SC using Intrepid server beta but *no* RAID drives. The drive layout
was a simple:
/dev//sda1 / (root)
/dev/sda2 swap
The problem still persists. I boots directly into BusyBox saying it
can't find root on

I just tried the same install on a desktop board ASUS with nVidia
chipset with one IDE and one SATA drive. Loaded and booted fine. So the
problem may be related to the specific hardware in the Dell PowerEdge.

I think that's what these are, from above. Or did I misunderstand?
