Public bug reported: After installing the updated kernel (3.8.0-29), I was suddenly unable to boot. I will experience a frozen screen for several seconds, followed by an error claiming that my installation partition cannot be found. However, the 3.8.0-27 kernel seems to work just fine.
I attempted an fsck, but no errors were found. I then removed the -29 kernel completely (sudo apt-get purge, followed by sudo update-grub), reinstalled it, but ended up with the same result. Now for some system details: I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 x86_64, with all the latest stable updates installed. My machine's hard drive is controlled by an Intel ICH9R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller chipset, currently set to AHCI mode (as opposed to IDE or RAID mode). Ubuntu is stored on an exteded partition, which is formatted with EXT4 (/dev/sda6). My first three partitions are Windows installs, each with formatted with NTFS. Also, I have /dev/sda7 as my Swap partition. If there are anymore details I can provide, please don't hesitate to ask. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215269 Title: Unable to boot after kenel update (3.8.0-29).
