Boot failures on systems with Intel D945 motherboards have been reported. If this failure occurs, the system will drop to a busybox initramfs shell with a "Gave up waiting for root device." error. Wait a minute or two and then exit the initramfs shell by typing 'exit'. Booting should proceed normally. If it doesn't wait a bit longer and try again. Once the system boots, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add rootdelay=90 to the kernel stanza for your current kernel.
