Public bug reported:

After installing the updated kernel (3.8.0-29), I was suddenly unable to
boot. I will experience a frozen screen for several seconds, followed by
an error claiming that my installation partition cannot be found.
However, the 3.8.0-27 kernel seems to work just fine.

I attempted an fsck, but no errors were found. I then removed the -29
kernel completely (sudo apt-get purge, followed by sudo update-grub),
reinstalled it, but ended up with the same result.

Now for some system details: I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 x86_64, with all the
latest stable updates installed. My machine's hard drive is controlled
by an Intel ICH9R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller chipset, currently set to
AHCI mode (as opposed to IDE or RAID mode). Ubuntu is stored on an
exteded partition, which is formatted with EXT4 (/dev/sda6). My first
three partitions are Windows installs, each with formatted with NTFS.
Also, I have /dev/sda7 as my Swap partition.

If there are anymore details I can provide, please don't hesitate to
ask.
