Anton Gyllenberg, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc1 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576302 Title: regression: root device not found (mptspi) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrading from Karmic to Lucid, my old Dell Poweredge no longer boots, but fails with: Gave up waiting for root device. [...] Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/d4cbfbe0-d0af-434f-aa73-40471e6cc040 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! 2.6.31-21-generic OK 2.6.32-21-generic ERROR 2.6.32-22-generic ERROR I can boot 2.6.31-21-generic, but with 2.6.32-21-generic and 2.6.32-22-generic I get the error. I recall I got the error earlier as well but it resolved itself by rebooting I think. Now this consistently works with 2.6.31-21 and fails with 2.6.32-21 and -22. My kernel command line is: root=UUID=d4cbfbe0-d0af-434f- aa73-40471e6cc040 ro hpet=force clocksource=hpet acpi=off Waiting and exiting, or setting rootdelay=120 doesn't help. The device is not found, /dev/sda1 never appears. The end of the kernel output looks like the following: [ 2.658887] mptspi 0000:03:0c.1: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: INT B -> IRQ 26 [ 2.659014] mptbase: ioc1: Initiating bringup [ 17.656025] mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing Reset from mpt_config!!
