[Bug 47768] Re: Mount Root Files System Failed

[DaveLaing]

This thread on the forums seems related (29 pages long):
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195

Near the end of the thread the suggested work around becomes 'use Fedora
10', so it seems like something that needs to be dealt with.

I was stung with a very similar issue with Hardy, and through my
advocacy I've had several non-technical friends who decided to take a
look at linux and nearly turned back because of this issue in Hardy and
Intrepid.

In my little group it seems that changing the BIOS SATA settings from
IDE to RAID seems to be the top fix, followed by adding all_generic_ide
to the kernel options.  Looking at the forum post there seems to be 4 or
5 different things that might be needed as workarounds, which may
suggest several bugs with the same symptoms.
