[Bug 360378] Re: Gave up waiting for root device after upgrade then busybox console

[cobra2020]

It seems like I'm the only one still suffering from this problem. I got
a new laptop a couple of weeks ago and I installed Ubuntu 10.4 (netbook
edition) on it. I've been saddled with the problem described above ever
since! Tried changing the delay and replacing the UUID in grub with
'root=/dev/sda1'. Actually, using dev/sda1 in grub "got me around" the
problem, BUT the boot became almost 4 minutes AND I'm losing every app I
install since the previous boot (i.e. if I install Google Chrome, the
next time I restart all traces of it are gone).

I am COMPLETELY new to linux/ubunu. Been a Windows user all my life,
just thought I'd give this a try...

I tried to do what Rick Silva described in #26 above, BUT I couldn't
locate that file on the bootable USB drive. I did locate a broken like
to where the file should have been, however. Not sure what that means...
I'm booting off the USB just fine...

If anyone has specific ideas about how I should go about solving my
issue, I'm all ears! Please remember that I'm COMPLETELY new to this
:-), but willing to learn new things.
