[Bug 290153] Re: Fails to find boot device in Intel D945Gnt

[FernanAguero]

I have the same problem, and adding rootdelay=90 didn't solve the
problem.

My system: 
Dell Optiplex 740n
CPU: AMD 64 Athlon X2 Dual 3800+ 2.00 GHz
HD: WDC WD800JD-75MSA3 (80 Gb, SATA)
I believe the system uses an nVidia nForce chipset

The problem started happening after upgrading to 8.10. I have now
intrepid installed but have to boot the system with the
2.6.24-21-generic kernel (the 2.6.27-7-generic produces the error).

If I type 'exit' at the initramfs shell, booting continues normally, and
I can even get a graphical display login. However both before typing
'exit' and after that (i.e. at all times) the system emits error/warning
messages at 5-7 second intervals (see attached dmesg/kernel.log). During
these intervals the system seem to do some checks on the drives (the
light on the CD/DVD drive turns on and off, and I can hear a noise,
similar to the one during a normal boot when the drive is checked for
media).
