I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 using the upgrade manager. When i try to reboot, i consistently get the message:
"gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
-boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-check root delay =
-check root
-missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ef370d05-5064-4306-9539-2f714b7840b does not exist"
then it drops back to the initramfs prompt.
Note that i have edited my /etc/menu.lst timeout to 120 as suggested else where, also the menu.lst lists the same uuid as the one that does not exist, supposedly. If it helps, i am running a 64-bit system.
