[Bug 55112] I can't use any kernel past the -19 version

[Rian Orie]

Public bug reported:

I have to stick with the 2.6.15-19 kernel version to boot into my
Kubuntu distribution.. When I pick the -20 or higher in the splash it
gives me a "Waiting for root partition" (or something of the sort)
before timing out into a better box.. when I switch to the dmesg info it
gives some issues with mounting the drives, can't find it.. my
suspection is the driver got ditched after the -19 version?

I'll be happy to help out as much as I can, I figure you guys need info
about my system.. I just don't know how to retrieve it...

I've got a Dell Dimension 5100, I've got a SATA controller that has a
SATA drive hooked up to it and because Linux refused to install onto
that an older (P)ATA drive, it runs in 'combined' mode to be able to use
both the SATA and (P)ATA drive.

Anyhow, thanks!
