"Gave up waiting for root device" with the 2.6.27-11-generic kernel

[zapster]

I've got this problem:
tried to perform a software update with synaptic, and the indicator bar stopped for a while, and recovered after 2 minutes. Later on, while trying to install a package from terminal, I've realized that i hadn't enough space on disk (I guess that's why indicator bar freezed for a couple of moments), so I deleted some movies from my desktop. When I rebooted my PC, I've got this error:

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
 - Boot args (at /proc/cmdline)
    - Check rootdelay = (did the system wait long enough?)
    - Check root = (did the system wait for the right device?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/BA046C9D046C5E7F does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu6) built-in shell(ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands
(initramfs)

What should I do?
Now, when i start my PC I have to enter into boot menu and choose 2.6.27-9-generic kernel - with this option PC starts. How can I fix this error so that my system works on 2.6.27-11-generic kernel ?

Many thanks!

I've filed this Bug out of the LP answer #59032. The solution posted there seems not to resolve the problem for me and others. As already stated in the answer thread, the same message occurs on my system if I try to start after a kernel update. Unlike micheal.frog I didn't recognise a strange behaviour during the update process.

If more informations are needed just ask!

Thank you,
Josef

Free up as much room as possible.
"linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic (source: linux): Linux kernel image for version 2.6.27 on x86/x86_64. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.27-11.27 (intrepid), package size 22897 kB, installed size 92184 kB"

So this means you require in the neighbourhood of 120Mb free space to download and install it.
