Public bug reported:
After upgrading to linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic 2.6.28-13.45, the
system cannot detect the intended root partition and therefore cannot
boot the system.
The differences between 2.6.28-13 (non-booting) and 2.6.27-14 (OK) are:
1) Device files for the partitions are not created in /dev
2) Disks sda and sdb are reversed. (Due to mounting by UUID, this may not
matter.)
Even with 'debug' provided on the kernel command line, nothing unusual
turns up. The only differences I can see in the two logs are the sda/sdb
swap, and the fact that sata_nv is loaded before pata_amd, whereas with
2.6.27-14, pata_amd was loaded before sata_nv.
Here is an excerpt from the (non-booting) 2.6.28-13 kernel log.

As you can see, the partitions of disk sdb seem to be detected. However,
/dev/sdb2 is not created, so booting fails.
