Support,

 

I have been trying to install Ubuntu now for about three weeks with no
results.  I just found out that it installed but when it ask to reboot to
finish setup then a pause and this message on black screen:

 

Gave up waiting for root device, Common Problem:

-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)

  -Check root delay = (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/E83C03C23C038AB0 does not exist. Dropping to a
shell!

 

Busy Box v1.18.5 (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5 - lubuntu4) built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

(initramfs__

 

Then a command line. I think that if I get past this point then the rest is
history I can manage to view the help that is at hand to tweek the rest of
the OS.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

I used the latest wubi download from the website, I run windows 7 64bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66GHz 2.67 GHz 4.00 GB RAM Windows 7 Ultimate
Graphics card Geforce 9600 GSO I hope that this helps oh I run a RAID 5 with
three 500GB hard drives.
