We have the same issue on the Dell Precision T7500. Interestingly, it used to work with an earlier kernel, as we have been running this machine on Lucid without flaws for months. After a planned outage, we started getting "Gave up waiting for root device" on boot, and a prompt to busybox. The bootdelay=60 doesn't work for us either.
The main issue that I am seeing is that the disk comes up, but the /dev/disk/by-uuid directory is missing. Since Grub is looking for root via UUID, the boot fails. If I change root to "root=/dev/sda1" it comes up, but hangs later because it still wants to mount all the partitions by UUID and the directory is still gone. Again, this is a new issue from one of the later kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/611474 Title: Boot fails with busybox prompt using LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS [1000:0058] (rev 08) SAS Disk Controller -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
