Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-generic
After upgrade via synaptic on 4/12/09 on Ubuntu jaunty my system is now no longer booting correctly was working just fine with previous kernel 2.6.28.11 but the changes to this package linux-image after 4/12/09 may have caused my system to no longer boot.. & the system falls back to a busybox console after displaying the error message Gave up waiting for root device.. I have waited for several minutes then issued an exit command & the same message is displayed again..

Exactly the same happening for me after upgrade to Jaunty. BusyBox returns every time. The known rootdelay=90 workaround doesn't work. Grub recognizes the partitions correctly right from the start, and the UUIDs are proper, but kernel fails to find the root drive.
I am using a laptop with a SATA hard drive that worked well with Edgy, Feisty, Gutsy, and Intrepid.
