[Bug 576302] Re: regression: root device not found (mptspi)

[Anton Gyllenberg]

Yes this is still an issue in Lucid with the kernel 2.6.32-22-generic
which I believe is still the latest. Ran apport-collect as instructed.

Unfortunately the system on which this happens is in production and I do
not wish to upgrade the whole system to a development release. I did
test two new kernels however, with good results. As I didn't find info
on which is the latest kernel in the current development release of
Ubuntu, I took the newest I could find in
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/, that is linux-
image-2.6.35-5-generic_2.6.35-5.6_i386.deb. I also tested the mainline
release http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid
/linux-image-2.6.35-020635rc1-generic_2.6.35-020635rc1_i386.deb.

Both of these new kernels I tested worked in that they eventually
recover from the mptspi error. It still takes longer than the default
rootdelay, but in any case it does recover by itself and with these new
kernels and tweaking rootdelay I can get the system to boot without
manual intervention.

Good news! So it seems the issue probably  is resolved in the next
Ubuntu release. But of course not in 10.04 LTS.
