Sorry for the noise .. Got me a (personal) box that has a borked grub after an OS upgrade. Need to get somebody there who can just go in, probably fix /boot/grub/menu.lst to say the right thing, run grub (maybe boot in with a live cd, mount and run grub.. you know the drill) Is anybody in or near Sherman Oaks LA who can help fix this? Please email ASAP, I'll hook you up with the person who can get you access. Sorry for the urgent - that box has been down for over 24 hrs now. gave up waiting for root device common problem: boot args (cat/proc/cmdline) check root delay = (did the system wait long enough?) check root = (did the system wait for the right device?0 missing modules (cat/pro/modules;ls/dev) alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/42b8599e-f7bc-4626-ad08-4ba6427513d1 does not exist. dropping to a shell busybox v1.13.3(ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7 built in shell (ash) enter 'help' for a list of commands (initramfs): -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)
