dear Ubuntu people,

I have a problem with booting my 2.6.25-2-386 kernel. I update my system to 9.04 for the fist time and then restart my system. but now my systeem does not work anymore and goes to the load screan and then to the console mode with this error message.



Decompressing Linux... done.
Booting the kernel.
Loading, please wait...
Gave up waiting for 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/b1c97a42-b107-4c9e-823b-ec8b32b312fc does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-2ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs)I searched some results on the internet... What i found is that I had to change my grub menu.lst whit the Live-CD.

I changed it in 3 ways. And none of them worked.


kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-386 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-386 root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet splash
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-386 root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet splashThese are all my partitions. None of them worked. He gave this error back to me.

ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!A other solution what someone told is that i had to change it to this. But no results.
