I was running 7.10 inside vmware fusion 1.1.1 on a mac mini.
It was running flawlessly.
I decided to run the upgrade to 8.04.
After the upgrade when I try to boot that image it takes forever and then eventually bounces out to a BusyBox shell.
The error reported is this:
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<UUIDhere> does not exist. Dropping to a shell.
The closest thing I've been able to get to running is that I'll boot to the cd as you do when doing an install. From there I can mount /dev/sda1 which I can see all my files still exist.
I've checked that the UUID in the grub startup is indeed the same in my /etc/fstab and in the /dev/disks/by-uuid dir.
Any leads would be tremendously appreciated.
