Commenting out kopt (with ##) and having grub use UUID instead of devices names doesn't help.
What however did help was downgrading the kernel to the one in edgy (instead edgy security) AND installing a working initramfs image from another machine so I'm beginning to think there's initramfs image breakage of some sort. Might be related to #75649 which reports a bug. I will now apply that patch and rebuild the initram image of the updated kernel. -- System won't boot after update, can't find root partition https://launchpad.net/bugs/75655 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
