For those of you encountering this with VirtualBox, moving the system drive(s) to a virtual IDE controller instead of a virtual SATA controller fixes it.
I had the same issue after installing 10.04 to two virtual SATA drives (1 sys + 1 swap), I then tried an expert install using LILO instead of GRUB, but the same problem appeared. I then moved the two virtual drives from the virtual SATA controller to the virtual IDE controller, and it booted nicely. -- Gave up waiting for root device after upgrade then busybox console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
