I can't say for certain if this is the same issue - I upgraded to the gibbon yesterday, and upon a reboot the system would not come up. The recovery kernel (2.6.22-14-generic, I think) shows:

BEGIN: Waiting for root filesystem

and it never boots. The Edgy kernel, 2.6.20-16, boots fine. I thought this to be an issue with the initrd image, so I reinstalled the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel, which did rebuild the image, but the problem persists.

This is indeed a laptop, and it has a SATA drive that registers as /dev/sda. I only started experiencing this with the upgrade to gutsy, so that is why I can't say if it's related or should be a different bug.
