Time for some ubuntu help.
I just performed an update thru the Update Manager, & on re-boot got this message: ( Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-24-386 )

udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems :

- Boot args ( cat /proc/cmdline )
- Check root delay= ( 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/df0200e3-e6e9-439a-922f-100d92af0c58 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!.

BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built in shell (ash)

(initramfs)_

Info: I can boot into older version: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-23-386. The Update Manager does not seem to want to show any updates that are available.
Anyone have any ideas ?...................."G"

Try booting into recovery mode and running dpkg off the recovery menu?

There are several other posts in forums refering to this error message following this last upgrade. The following ones for instance and likely some
more :

I would say there is a bug within this last - september 2 ? - batch of
updated packages. And if it's not fixed quickly many people will run into it.

It Works !, thanks Francis.
ran in terminal :
sudo update-initramfs -u -k2.6.32-24-386
I guess I need to run for the "generic" version too, just to keep things smooth
Always can count on Ubuntu Help !......."G"):P
