View Full Version : [ubuntu] Can't boot after BIOS Update

I updated the BIOS on my semi-ancient Abit AV8 and now the system gets stuck on boot. (System has a recent install of 10.04 64 bit Server. It was running an early beta of Maverick due to a screwed up upgrade from the previous LTS, but that should be a different matter.)

The system includes an IDE boot drive and a mix of 5 IDE/SATA drives configured in a RAID. Before the BIOS update the boot drive showed up as /dev/sda. Now it shows up as /dev/sdb.

The grub menu comes up and the boot process starts until 'mountall' tries to fsck /dev/sda1 (root and boot partition) and fails because it is not a file system. The startup process hangs there.

I have booted a live CD to examine the system and collect information.

I do not know where 'mountall' is getting /dev/sda1. I have checked both /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /etc/fstab and do not see sda1 in either. I checked the UUID for the root device and it remains unchanged and matches the entries in fstab and grub.cfg.

Wait... :confused: This time when I booted a 10.04 live CD, the boot drive did come up as /dev/sda. The previous time I booted the live CD, it came up as /dev/sdb. Of that I am certain. However it still stalls at 'mountall' when I boot. I did fsck the boot partition (as /dev/sdb1 on a previous boot of the live CD and it reported errors that were quickly repaired.)

Here's the output of boot_info_script.sh
