Hello. I'm new here, so forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong section.
First of, I am new to Ubuntu. This is my first time installing it.
Now, my problem.
When I start Ubuntu, and it loads, it gives me "Gave up waiting for root device", etc,
along with ALERT! /dev/mapper/florence-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell, from
then it loads to Initranfs. (florence is the computers hostname).
How can I attempt to fix this, and yes; I have added rootdelay=90 to the kernel, and it
doesnt fix it.
I have tried both 8 and 9, latest files, on the Server portion with nothing but the core installed. This is on a older system, IBM eSever xSeries with 2 processes.
Thanks in advance!
Austin
