I just updated on Feisty to kernel 2.6.20-14 and when I try to reboot (with -quiet removed from the grub config) I get the following:
--
Loading essential drivers ... OK
Running /scripts/init-premount... OK
Mounting root file system ...
Running /scripts/local-top ... OK
Waiting for root file system ...

And that is it, nothing further, I waited at least 10 minutes.
If I run in single user mode I see these lines before it stops:
--
[ 12.344000] ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[ 12.344000] ata3.00: ata_hpa_resize 1: sectors = 625142448, hpa_sectors = 4385456
[ 12.344000] ata3.00: ATA-6: WDC WD3200JD-22KLBO, 08.05J08, max UDMA/100
[ 12.344000] ata3.00:625142448 sectors, multi 16: LBA48

These lines refer to my one and only SATA hard disk.
I can still boot with 2.6.20-13. It looks like the SATA controller may have changed between -13 and -14, is there any way (if so) to change it back temporarily until a fix is in place?
