Public bug reported: See also bug#172563.
Boot after power-on and some soft reboots (from Linux) cause the system to hang in "waiting for root file system". Eventually (several minutes later), the system drops into initramfs, with this message: ATA_ID[4112] main: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/.tmp-8-16 This system is an ASUS A8MVM-CSM, with NVIDIA SATA controller, and two-core AMD Opteron. uname -a: Linux rattler 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linuxi I'll attach syslog.0 and dmesg, lspci. cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 2.6.24-16.30-generic ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- boot stalls in "waiting for root file system" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/227003 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
