Hi,
Yesterday I did do-release-update. I had (I'm not sure but it was old) probably 10.04 version. It was server edition + LXDE.
When I done update my server woudln't run, stopped during boot with prompt (initramfs) and something like this:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
[...]
I looked up for solutions and I did pruged and reinstalled grub2 with this:

Right now I don't have any more information "Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:" just (initramfs) show's. That's all.
I'm afraid to do anything more not to broke it completly.
I have only Ubuntu at this computer (no windows, no other OSes).
At this computer I have RAID, other HDDs are not important (it's flash with live CD, one HDD for data (sdc1).
Additiona information got with live cd:
