[Bug 611827] Re: Linux kernel fail to boot on Everex PC (2 users) since 9.10

[Phillip Susi]

9.04 and 9.10 reached end of life some time ago.  Is this still a
problem with 12.04 or later?

  boot on Live CD 10.04 fails
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  I upgraded my system form 9.04 to 9.10.  now my computer will not boot to the log in screen.  I go to the kernel list and can't seem to find the solution.  If I don't hit ESC to the grub menu this is what I get."init: unreadahead main process (2774) terminated satus 5 mountall:/proc/self?mountinfo: no such file or directory
  montall: root file system isn't mounted
  init : mountall main process (2775)terminated with status 1
  general error mounting file systems
  a maintenance shell will now be started
  CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try.

  When I use the recovery kernel it flashes alot of lines and the curser end up at the bottom.  Then I get:
  Alert /dev/disk/byuuid//dev/sda1 does not exist
  busy box  v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu 12)  Built in shell (ash)
  enter help for a list of built in commands
  (initramfs)
  Thanks
