Hi Nick,
id of block devices just checked with "fdisk -l" "vol_id" and "cat
/boot/grub/menu.lst"
Now the problem is solved, I take this actions: (I post what you ask a the end)
I reboot with Windows (I have dual boot, multiple linux kernels and one
Windows, both on separated disk drives), Windows doesn't start, it seems to be
a corrupted MBR.
>From BIOS at boou up I choose to boot directly from the second hard drive
>(Windows) and it starts!!
I reboot and choose the second hard drive again (Windows) and all seems ok.
Then I reboot and choose my adorable linux (Linux dream-desktop
2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux) and it
starts regularly!!
After these steps no more problems!
So, now I post what you asked:
~$ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 10
## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
#hiddenmenu
# Pretty colours
#color cyan/blue white/blue
## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
# password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/

** Description changed:
Get that message after an upgrade.
uuid checked and all is ok
After: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx BusyBox starts.
If I press ctrl-d the system do a normal boot and all seems to work as usual.
kernel affected:
Linux dream-desktop 2.6.27-11-generic
Linux dream-desktop 2.6.27-9-generic
Linux dream-desktop 2.6.27-7-generic
uname -a :
Linux desktop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686

- Maybe caused by last grub upgrade?
+ Maybe caused by last grub upgrade, kernel hard drives controllers checks
+ at boot or initramfs fail?

On start up I grt: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx initramfs then start BusyBox
