Hi guys,
just gave a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 beta on my notebook (filesystem was ext4). All went alright, but when I boot it, it gives me the 'Gave up waiting for root device' error and throws me a shell... if I type exit, it works, though takes like 1 min to boot, but if I do that on the next boot, it won't boot anymore, gives me kernel panic and other errors...
I have tried setting rootdelay=90 and no success, as this is the second boot (first one is for setting rootdelay), it just won't boot anymore...
I have tried installing 9.04 and beta 9.10, both give me the same error... any idea? Thank you advance
I have also tried uncommenting #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
BTW: Notebook is acer 1410... HD is IDE, could this be a problem?
Edit: Reinstalled again, now the errors I get are:
A lot of
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector xxxxxand then
EXT4-fs error (device sda6): ext4_dx_find_entry: bad entry in directory #98137: directory entry across blocks - offset=24596, inode=0, rec_len=4096, name_len=1
init: caught segmentation fault, core dumped
kernel panic -- not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I also get
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x1 Serr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
