Hey guys, kinda new to linux, i have someone here helping me, but weve gone over forums over this topic and nothing we've read has fixed this.

Im runninga Gateway 955 dual xeon server and im getting this error on Ubuntu 9.04
uname gave me this

ubuntu 2.6.28-11 generic #42-Ubuntu
i686



Boot from (hd0,0) ext3 4868f33b-f08d-4098-95fb-517586fb4e04
Starting up...
Gave up waitingfor root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/4868f33b-f08d-4098-95fb-517586fb4e04 does not exist.Dropping to a shell

then it displays the shell.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :). Thanks in advance


im working ongetting my fstab right now
and here it is



# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

I've had that happen to me twice now with Karmic and Grub2. This thread is marked solved and should fix it for you:
