Title:
  regression: root device not found (mptspi)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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.
