Title:
  9.04 can not boot suddenly

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I just upgraded from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 the day before yesterday. It
  worked well, but today after a crash of unknown reason, it cannot boot
  any more. It just displayed something like (I just copy it from some
  others):

  Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
  - Boot args (at /proc/cmdline)
  - Check rootdelay = (did the system wait long enough?)
  - Check root = (did the system wait for the right device?)
  - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
  ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/BA046C9D046C5E7F does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

  BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu6) built-in shell(ash)

  Enter ‘help’ for a list of built-in commands
  (initramfs)

  I have followed this session:

  but it seems the problem is different, I cannot find anything like
  /etc/fstab.

  My laptop is DELL 6400 (amd64 bit).  Would you be so kind to give me a
  help.

  Thanks a lot.
