2008-10-28 05:35:35 Scott Kitterman description The machine in question is built around an Intel D945Gnt motherboard. It worked fine in Hardy with Kubuntu KDE3. dist-upgraded today using the kubuntu.org recommendations. After upgrade, was dropped to an initramfs shell and the boot device was not found, "Gave up waiting for root device." After waiting a minute or two, I exited the initramfs shell and the boot process continued normally. The machine in question is built around an Intel D945Gnt motherboard. It worked fine in Hardy with Kubuntu KDE3. dist-upgraded today using the kubuntu.org recommendations. After upgrade, was dropped to an initramfs shell and the boot device was not found, "Gave up waiting for root device." Root device is a SATA hard drive. After waiting a minute or two, I exited the initramfs shell and the boot process continued normally.

After waiting a minute or two, I exited the initramfs shell and the boot process continued normally. Adding rootdelay=90 to the current kernel line in menu.list gets a good boot. It's at least a work around.

2008-11-21 15:23:41 Scott Kitterman linux: status Fix Released Confirmed
2008-11-21 15:23:41 Scott Kitterman linux: statusexplanation Unmarking fix released as the proposed kernel does not fix this issue. I do not see any change in the behavior with this update. I dropped the rootdelay work around and ended up in busybox, just like before. I typed exit immediately and it failed. After waiting some time, exit would again proceed to a normal boot. Adding rootdelay in again works. The only difference I note is that the internal fan now occasionally runs VERY hard for several seconds when it shouldn't need to during the boot process. Not sure if that qualifies as a regression or an improvement. On a related note, I also installed the proposed kernel in a Dell Latitude D430 for testing and have not seen any regressions after some light testing.
