Hello,
I have trouble booting my newly installed system.
To avoid another problem with graphics drivers (quite another history) it has been necessary for me to install Ubuntu 12.04 by different means than usual.
I connected the 120gb SSD disk through a SATA-to-USB cable (with external power to the disk, ofcourse) to my laptop. I then opened VirtualBox, mounted the physical SSD disk as a virtual disk[1] (this has previously worked perfect for me) and installed from the newly downloaded .iso of Ubuntu 12.04. I then installed the necessary graphics drivers that was necessary to boot on the intended hardware (the first problem).
I put the harddisk back in the chassis, and when booting i get through grub, but halt with a BusyBox promt. The error seems to be that grub attempts to mount the root partition by a uuid that doesn't exist in /dev/disk/by-uuid.
When i run 'mount /dev/sda1 /root' or 'mount /dev/sda /root' (which exists) i get an 'Invalid arguments'-error.
Now, how do i bootstrap the partition so i can update grub for proper automated booting of the system?
Thank you,
Asbjørn
