Public bug reported:
Right after 8.10 became available, I attempted to upgrade from 8.04, It
crashed my PC, I finally managed to reinstall 8.04. Today I accepted the
Ubuntu online offer to upgrade to 8.10 that appeared automatically.on
8.04.
thinking that surely Ubuntu had caught all the glitches by now, I accepted the
upgrade. After Ubuntu 8.04 processed the entire upgrade and the reboot was the
only thing remaining to complete the process, it failed and I received the
following error messages:
Gave up waiting for root device.
Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
Check root delay= (Did system wait long enough?)
Check root= (Did system wait for the right device?)
Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; 1s /dev)
Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/d90ecbb4-9b92-4220-9764-6108e989f7a1 does not
exist.
