["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Anton Gyllenberg, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  regression: root device not found (mptspi)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Karmic to Lucid, my old Dell Poweredge no longer boots, but fails with:
  Gave up waiting for root device. [...]
  Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/d4cbfbe0-d0af-434f-aa73-40471e6cc040 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

  2.6.31-21-generic        OK
  2.6.32-21-generic        ERROR
  2.6.32-22-generic        ERROR

  I can boot 2.6.31-21-generic, but with 2.6.32-21-generic and
  2.6.32-22-generic I get the error. I recall I got the error earlier as
  well but it resolved itself by rebooting I think. Now this
  consistently works with 2.6.31-21 and fails with 2.6.32-21 and -22.

  My kernel command line is: root=UUID=d4cbfbe0-d0af-434f-
  aa73-40471e6cc040 ro hpet=force clocksource=hpet acpi=off

  Waiting and exiting, or setting rootdelay=120 doesn't help. The device
  is not found, /dev/sda1 never appears. The end of the kernel output
  looks like the following:

  [    2.658887] mptspi 0000:03:0c.1: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: INT B -> IRQ 26

  Attached lspci and dmesg output after booting 2.6.31-21-generic that works and with 2.6.32-22 after removing and reinserting mptspi etc.
