Title:
  Beta 2 candidate new install boots to initramfs

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Installed today's Beta candidate went O.K. as far as I could see.

  Restart according to the install screen, got:

  initramfs

  Some message about not being able to get C/H/?? values.

  How do I write a launchpad bug from initramfs??

  It's a dual hard drive system. Booted onto the first hard drive with
  Lucid LTS, then ran update-grub and grub-install. Lucid Grub works
  fine.  Then booted precise pangolin Beta candidate O.K. from the Lucid
  Grub2 entry.

  One hard drive is IDE, the other a SATA. Lucid Lynx, Meerkat, previous
  ubuntu's back to whenever assign the boot hard drive as /dev/sda.
  Works perfectly. Pangolin decides the boot hard drive is /dev/sdb and
  then gets confused.

  From some past bug experience with Narwhal, Pangolin Grub is looking
  for some UUID on the wrong hard drive. Never ever occurs to Pangolin
  Grub to look on the other hard drive for that UUID.

  Anything I can try to get some useful info?
