7.04 cant find non-UUID partitions after hda->sda transition (6.10->7.04)

[totem]

i have done the upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 without problems.
after the reboot is ubuntu unable to find the partition. i get always the message
"ALERT! /dev/hda2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"

the question for the raids i answered with "none", because i dont have raids, just a single harddisk.
maybe is that the reason?
because, as far as i can remember, i answered during the upgrade to 6.10 the question with yes.

my system is a p4

btw: the partition is ok, because i can use it from the gentoo-partition.

totem,

Thanks for reporting this. To figure out what is going on we need a little more information. If possible could you attach the log files from /var/log/dist-upgrade. This will show what was done during the upgrade and help figure out where it went wrong.

thanks,
Richard

Thanks for the answer. attached are the logs

Thanks for your bugreport.

This is most likely because due to a kernel change the paritions are now called /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda. The default ubuntu uses UUID based mounting where this does not matter. Can you please attach your /etc/fstab? And /dev/hda2 in it to /dev/sda2 ?

Thanks,
 Michael

Is your system a fresh edgy install? Or a upgrade from dapper (or a earlier version of ubuntu)?

[totem (steffenbrumm)]

an upgrade from 6.10

i have changed in the /etc/fstab the dev/hda2 to /dev/sda2 - still the error.

but i discovered that "/dev/hda2" is in "/etc/lvm/.cache" too.

is that ok?

Can you please attach the output of "dmesg" to the bugreport?

impossible, because the startup normal, stops after 26 (millisecs?) and
approx. 3 min later i see the errormessage, busybox 1.1.3...

the ash doesnt know "dmesg"

[totem (steffenbrumm)]

the problem was GRUB. the root-argument was /dev/hda2.
i changed it to /dev/sda2 - now it works.

but /dev/hda2 worked with earlier versions, weird...
