Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.17
2.6.17-10-generic does not find the sata drive, so it cannot mount the root partition. 2.6.17-10-i386 does find it so the boot is successful. Attached you can find - boot log of -generic (taken by camera) - boot log of -i386 to see how it should work - lshw, lspci -vv output. ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- 2.6.17-10-generic does not find sata drive https://launchpad.net/bugs/83546 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
