Public bug reported:
After an upgrade to Gutsy from Feisty I am unable to boot the Gutsy kernel. I
am able to boot the feisty kernel.
When I try to boot the Gutsy kernel, I get a busy box prompt (screen shots
(photos) attached) with a message that my drive is not available. I have 2 ATA
HDDs, 1 IDE/ATA CDROM and 1 IDE/ATA DVD. When I run "ls /dev/disk" no drives
are listed and the folders /by-id, /by-path, /by-uuid and /by-label do not
exist. I have verified the disk UUID using vol_id and blkid. I have verified
/boot/grub/menu.lst has the correct drive UUID. I have verified /etc/fstab is
also correct. I have removed un-needed devices from /etc/fstab. I have rebuilt
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic to specifically load IDE_DISK, IDE_CD,
IDE_GENERIC and VIA82CXXX and also to disable libata and the ata drivers. When
I upgraded from Dapper to Feisty my system would not boot with the /dev/sd
style drive path and I had to change /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab to
/dev/hd. That hasn't worked with Gutsy as it doesn't create the /dev/hd devices.
I think this is due to an incompatibility between my Via VT82C586
chipset and libata.
