** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Expired -- 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: Expired 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!!
