Spoke too soon... my fstab is OK, but my menu.lst had the following entry for kernel option:
# kopt=root=UUID=5c0c84ae-d485-4e96-aa6a-6213771f6eda ro # kopt_2_6=root=/dev/hda2 ro The UUID is correct, but he kopt_2_6 was taking precedence and all the kernels were using the root=/dev/hda2 instead of the more general one. -- no boot on Kernal images post linux-image-2.6.17-6-386 on Dell Inspiron 7500 https://launchpad.net/bugs/63628 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
