Can't boot with 2.6.31-17 kernel after update from 9.04 to 9.10

[kordenal]

After upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 I can't boot in 2.6.31-17 kernel.
After loading of initrd.img file it is no folder /dev/disk/by-uuid and GRUB can't load kernel.
As workaround I can load with 2.6.28-17 kernel.

Hello. One more word.
I can boot if I use initrd.img file from 2.6.28-17 version to load modules and next load 2.6.31-17 kernel.

Hi kordenal,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 498494

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hello.

Unfortunately an issue still remains after kernel upgrades to versions 2.6.31-17, 2.6.31-18 and so on to 2.6.31-21.
One possibility to boot system is to use in GRUB menu.lst such record:

title Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-21-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-21-generic root=hda1 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-17-generic
quiet

(Load initrd from 2.6.28-17-generic next load 2.6.31-21 kernel).

I could not find the description of similar problems in the Internet. Probably, it is a problem appears only at me.
Unfortunately, I do not presume to make experiments with systems an on my workstation computer. It is necessary for me for business.

You can cancel this ticket. Probably, it is a problem appears only at me.

Best regards,
KorDenAl
