[Bug 609963] [NEW] Failure to boot with multiple SATA disks

[Serge Vereecke]

Public bug reported:

Booting with kernel version 2.6.31.19 which has 2 SATA drives starts correct. But with the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 the booting fails when using the 2.6.32.21 kernel or higher
Kernel 2.6.32.21 or higher (even 2.6.35) fails to boot when multiple SATA (2) drives are connected. Removing one SATA drive (dev/sdb) and the kernel  boots.
Getting errors on booting e.g. the 2.6.32.22 kernel
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory....
