Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic
Sometimes, with probability ~ 10% when booting kernel it says: Mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/9c45c7ae-0a67-4887-b3f4-899d2b5536d2 on /root failed: Device or resource busy. At this moment only rootfs from initrd is mounted. So system can't boot. But I still enter the busybox shell. /boot/grub/menu.lst: title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic root (hd2,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=9c45c7ae-0a67-4887-b3f4-899d2b5536d2 ro quiet nosplash locale=ru_RU resume=/dev/sdb1 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic quiet BTW this situation reminds me the "race condition". I run Linux on SMP dual-core system. But with Ubuntu 6.06 I havn't this problem at all.
