Hello all.

I recently was caught by a driver issue in a kernel update from Lucid
10.04 64-bit on my Dell desktop at work that required me to upgrade to
Maverick Alpha 3. In case anyone is wondering, after the update no
system restart, the boot process dropped into an initramfs prompt
reporting that device /dev/sda did not exist.  This was, of course, not
true as I'd just been using before the reboot.  I could boot to a LiveCD
and mount the drive, etc. This wasn't a grub misconfiguration error as
the boot process hadn't even gotten to the point of reading the grub
configuration. A bit of searching on the Ubuntu Forums turned up some
posts form other folks having the same error. One post said installing
Maverick fixed the problem, and it did for me.

Since now I'm using the Alpha 3 version and there are some issues with
it I figured I'd report them. Having gone through the remarkably
thorough process getting on LaunchPad, into the Ubuntu Testing group,
signing the Code of Conduct, etc. I'm sending this first email to the list.

As I'm not talking about specific application bugs, where there is
application failure, but more behavioural or cosmetic issues, what is
the best way for me to proceed?

Best regards,

Guy S
