Dapper flight six does not boot after recnet updates

[Coz]

I have tried ti post this several times without luck. i am trying agin.
 Three machines; celeron 1ghz/ 512 sdram/ ide har drive
                            AMd athon 63 3200+/ A8n32-sli-deluxe MoBo/ 1 gig ddr2/ SATA hard drive
                           P4 1.7 ghz/ 1gig rdram/ SCSI hard drives/ D850GB MoBo
  same problem all three systems;
on , ibelieve April 20,2006 did update for dapper which replaced kernel. all three machines reported same error after trying to boo unsuccessfuly;
"ALERT! /dev/sda does not exist...../bin/sh; can't access tty: job control turned off"
    So we waited a week after telling the #ubuntu-devel people. Reinstalled Dapper flight 6 and did updates again with same results, can't boot but different error;
" ALERT! /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root does not exist...../bin/sh; can't access tty; job control turned off"
  Then today, May 3, 2006, we decided to try again on the P4 system with a difference, we installed dapper flight 6 then after having donwloaded the daily build for today installed with synaptic. Identical results as before.

just wanted to add that if no updates are put in and we try to install the nvidia-glx we get same results because it also updates the kernel

This may be of some help,
  We noticed that the machines with SCSI drives and SATA drives have the most difficulty with the recent updates.
  Since SATA are recognized as SCSI drives in linux this may be the key to the problems that we have had, although it does not explain the problems on the IDE system.
     We dual booted this time with XP Pro, on the SCSI machine, and installed the recent updates to Dapper. The identical problem occured, would not boot because Ubuntu-root does not exist, however, when we rebooted and chose to boot from the previous kernel image all went well.
  A fix for this would be well apprciated from a personal standpoint, but more importantly from a professional standpoint. SCSI drives are still used widely, even though SATA is real close to the speeds of SCSi, I personally, and professionally prefer the stability of SCSi at this point.
 For reference the Adaptec controller in the one machine is a #39160 dual channel. Unfortunately the SATA on the most modern machine has the same problem.
  I don't often come across residential clients with SCSI drives in their systems but I do get many with SATA now. The corporate clients, even though not ready to even try Ubuntu, mostly have SCSI drives.

Does this still happen with the final dapper release?
