Public bug reported: I'm using a Compaq nc4200 with The systems boots all kernel versions up to 2.6.32-20 without any problems. Starting with -21 the laptop didn't boot anymore. From my perspective there is a problem mounting the root file system. Besides the normal kernel output I get
Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done. Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done. [some lines of ethX related kernel output] Begin: Waiting for root file system ... After some time the boot process drops to some BusyBox shell: (initramfs) Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: [some hintsregarding root delay and missing modules] ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/(UUID-of-my-sda1) does not exist. Dropping to a shell! What can I do to resolve the issue? What more information is needed?
