[Bug 594523] [NEW] ALERT! /dev/disk ... does not exist.

[ShepHeard]

Public bug reported:

I recently clean-installed Lucid on my Toshiba NB200 netbook as a dual
boot with XP, using a bootable USB drive made with LiveUSB Creator. I
previously had 9.10, no problems.

However, now when I boot into Linux I get the above error and the
computer drops to the BusyBox shell (initramfs). However, if I wait a
while and type reboot the machine sometimes loads linux OK (albeit very
slowly). booting in recovery mode makes no difference.

Without quiet splash, the last line is:

sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI Disk

it hangs here before dropping out.

It seems not to be specific to a particular kernal version as if I
select older kernals to boot from I have the same problem (versions
20-22).

I tried the advice given here:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:search

..but to no avail.

I have tried reinstalling, with a freshly downloaded copy of Ubuntu
10.04 , but again the same problem.
