2008-12-06 13:05:51 Henrik Holmström description Installed 8.10 2.6.27-7 on a ASUS M2N68-VM with Samsung 500GB disk and a IDE DVD RW. Worked for 2 weeks including upgrade to 2.6.27-9. Suddenly won't boot, dropping to shell with "/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx" doesn't exists. In fact, /dev/disk doesn't exists. Searched, read and applied lot of kernel parameters from various problem/bug reports. People with exact the same problems have sometimes been helped by a longer rootdelay and other more obscure kernel parameters. This problem is fairly common but is disguised as various "This and that chipset/motherboard/HD problems" when in reality is seems to be a common root problem. The HW is ok: when booting from the "USB startup disk" I created everything works including mount of the hard drive (this is how this bug report is written). In BIOS everything looks normal and all devices are showing as expected. Installed 8.10 2.6.27-7 on a ASUS M2N68-VM with Samsung 500GB disk and a IDE DVD RW. AMD Athlon64 X2 4850e.
