I have this same problem with Kubuntu Precise Beta1. I installed Kubuntu Precise Beta1 successfully (using default partition setup with a single SATA drive) and rebooted. The desktop loads without error. I run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and then reboot. Now the boot process stops: … Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check root delay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/8e6f9262-9fbb-48fb-b1f1-a5ba22f25554 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
