Bug Description
After successfully installing Feisty herd 4 on a Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2 motherboard, the Ubuntu splash screen appears but then disappears with the following error message on a black background:
Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
ALERT! /dev/disk/
The boot process then provides an initramfs prompt. There, I tried to ls /dev/disk to check if the uuid might be wrong, but the directory doesn't exist.
So, I then tried booting without the quiet and splash kernel options. I noticed a stack trace which starts with the following line:
Modules linked in: ohci1394 ieee1394 ehci_hcd generic uhci_hcd usbcore thermal processor fan fbcon tileblit font bitblit softcursor vesafb capability commoncap
And the stack trace ends with the following lines:
udevd-event[2017]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit <6>usb 5-1: new low speed USB device using uchci_hcd and address 2
usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 5-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
I'm not sure if this stack trace is related to the disk device which is reported not to exist, but I thought I would provide this information anyhow.
This seems similar to bug 84964.
