I am using Kubuntu 8.10 with kde4
I've Install Kubuntu using the LiveCD but can not get to boot in to the os. When I start the PC, get to the grub menu and select the option to boot. The screen change to kubuntu screen then go's to text mode showing the following:
Starting up ...
Loading, Please Wait...
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problem
- Boot args (cat /prog/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for right device)
- Missing module (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/3328a24e-ca23-4ce9-88cb-1c90e1588e5b does not exist. Dropping to shell!
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu6) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs)
So I type in the commands and this is what I got
(initramfs) cat /proc/cmdline
root=UUID=3328a24e-ca23-4ce9-88cb-1c90e1588e5b ro quiet splash
(initramfs) cat /proc/modules; ls /dev
[see attached files]
I also check the /dev/disk/id-uuid directory in to see if the uuid was present and it was.
