** Description changed:

  After upgrading from Karmic to Lucid, my old Dell Poweredge no longer boots, but fails with:
  Gave up waiting for root device. [...]
  Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/d4cbfbe0-d0af-434f-aa73-40471e6cc040 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
  
  2.6.31-21-generic        OK
  2.6.32-21-generic        ERROR
  2.6.32-22-generic        ERROR
  
  I can boot 2.6.31-21-generic, but with 2.6.32-21-generic and
  2.6.32-22-generic I get the error. I recall I got the error earlier as
  well but it resolved itself by rebooting I think. Now this consistently
  works with 2.6.31-21 and fails with 2.6.32-21 and -22.
  
  My kernel command line is: root=UUID=d4cbfbe0-d0af-434f-
  aa73-40471e6cc040 ro hpet=force clocksource=hpet acpi=off
  
  Waiting and exiting, or setting rootdelay=120 doesn't help. The device
  is not found, /dev/sda1 never appears. The end of the kernel output
  looks like the following:

  Attached lspci and dmesg output after booting 2.6.31-21-generic that works and with 2.6.32-22 after removing and reinserting mptspi etc.
