[Bug 33269] Re: root filesystem fails to mount

[Mark]

After upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04->9.10 today, I got this problem on my
laptop (stock Acer Aspire 5500Z). Upgrading then rebooting, I was
presented with a white splash screen, frozen. After some time, it timed
out and dropped me into busybox.

There is some sort of odd bug where the kernel is unable to recognize
UUID of my root partition. Strangely, it **does** recognize my swap
partition.

The fix:
-When booting grub, I change "root=UUID=9626db86-cfb8-4a00-9e7f-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" to "root=/dev/sda1"
-I changed my fstab in the same way.
