Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When booting kernel 2.6.15-12-386 on a machine that has / on a SATA hard
drive, the boot process fails because the kernel cannot find /dev/sda1
(location of the / partition on my machine.) The relevant GRUB menu
entry follows:
