Ubuntu :: Alert /dev/disk/by-uu... Doesn't Exist?
Apr 30, 2011
long story, I upgraded my system from maverick to natty, didn't like it so restored my system with a backup that I had done recently. after it rebooted I used gparted live CD to expand my partition, moving swap to the end of the HD, then when I rebooted grub didn't work so I booted with ubuntu live cd and reinstalled grub. then I booted normally but nautilus didn't work and had lots of problems. So I installed ubuntu again with ubuntu live cd, formating the partition and expanding it, no problems at all.But, I wanted my files back, so restored the system again, now the message that I get isQuote:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-Check rootdelay= (did the system wait for the right device?)

I would get the message that the uuid file does not exist. I've been online looking for fixes since yesterday morning and nothing has helped at all. I've read online that I should run fdisk -l to obtain info to share with others, but that command doesn't work in any command prompt I open. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 with the latest patches and I'm sure you guys know that it runs Grub2 loader...if that helps at all.

I have a 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 / 64 bit windows 7 dual boot setup, each installed on different drives.Everything worked fine for weeks, but after booting into windows for maybe the third time, when I tried to boot back into ubuntu, the splash screen and xwindows failed to start, dropping me to a terminal to log in.After rebooting a few more times to see if i could wish the problem away, some kind of fix/recovery screen came up and gave me the chance to try to update/repair installed packages, which I took.Now, when I boot, I get:
ata_id[428]:HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-block-8:80'
ata_id[427]:HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-block-8:64'
usplash: Settomg ,pde 1152x864 failed

I installed ubuntu netbook 10.10 on my acer aspire one with the "install inside windows" option. The first time it booted into ubuntu properly and completed the installation, then it automatically restarted and now when I try to boot ubuntu, I get the following error message:
Code:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat/proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules(cat/proc/modules; ls/dev)
Alert! /dev/sbd2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Fresh install of 9.10. Update all. The update froze at the very end: configuring grub-pc. I let it run like that all night before settling for a reboot while the update manager was still running. (The update also raised the kernel version.) After reboot, I tried the newer kernel [2.6.31-17-generic] at the grub menu and got this error:
Quote:
udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.
udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.
svgalib: Cannot open /dev/mem.[code].....
And, cat /proc/modules gives me a long list of modules (too much to retype for now).So my hard drive is there. maybe some errors on the / home partition [sda6] and I can get to the root directory.
FYI: MS-win XP still boots fine from grub.

I've downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 and I have installed it within ms windows. My first problem was when I went to boot Ubuntu and the graphics weren't right so I rebooted it with a different graphic configuration and it installed successfully. When I went to boot Ubuntu a second time to actually use it I got the following error:
ALERT! /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Just tried installing Ubuntu 10.10 from a USB device on my Windows 7 machine but something goes wrong. Far into the installation the computer restarts, asks me which operating system I want to start (it had already done this once before) and I choose Ubuntu. Then I get three alternatives:
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic (recovery mode)
Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)
I pick the top choice, and get the following message:
ALERT! /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist. Dropping to a shell.
If I start recovery-mode i get the same message. There's some text above the message that reads "new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address"... Could there be a problem with the usb-drive? If I remove the USB drive I get the message: Gave up waiting for root device.

From what I can figure out, grub can not figure out which disk has my root file system. I checked the partition labels and they match the UUID that are in my fstab.

Currently I'm running 3 operating systems on my machine; Windows XP, Windows 7 and Fedora 14. I've installed them in the following order: XP -> Win7 -> Fedora14, with the idea that this would work fine regarding operating system selection at boot time.
But unfortunately, I just installed Fedora, and now I'm unable to boot Windows 7/XP. When I select the "Other" option in the Grub menu, I get the following error: Code: Error 21: selected disk does not exist To provide as much info as possible, here is a boot info script log:

I have installed Lucid Lynx more than a dozen times in the past thirty hours and I've almost got it working with RAID. The current problem is with /dev/md0 not existing when grub2 tries to access it. When I boot from the alternate CD in rescue mode, Ubuntu sees /dev/md0 as a software RAID array and I can access the files accordingly. When I boot from the grub2 bootloader, it sits for a while before spitting out "Gave up waiting for root device" and tossing me into the initramfs shell where I can see that /dev/md0 doesn't (yet) exist. What can I change within grub2's configuration to inspire it to start /dev/md0 before trying to mount it?

My laptop has an Intel video card. Does Intel have open source drivers that are included in the kernel? I'm kind of curious because I do not have a xorg file, and I did not install any drivers as I had to on my nvidia desktop, yet all of my maximum resolutions come down accordingly.
I'm just curious on what exactly controls the video settings if xorg isn't in the picture.
Also - what relevance does the Fn keys have that probe for a 2nd monitor to Ubuntu? For example, I do not have a 2nd monitor attached, but if I hit Fn F8 over and over, sometimes it changes my resolution. Why is this? Why would that revert my resolution?

I have a compiled program, a tagger to identify parts of text, which claims it does not exist.This executable has to be called by a generated script, which is how I ran into this issue. What are the reasons this error could show up?The executable was copied from another machine.The file does have execution privileges (it gives a proper not-allowed message without them)I've tried copying the file to a different location (same problem)I've tried replacing the file with a fresh copy (same problem)The file does exist. Opening it with pico shows a file with binary data.

Is it possible to have Archive Manager create the specified folder when I enter it into the path field? Like if I want to put something in "/Main/Sub1/Sub2" But "sub2" doesn't exist, can I just have Archive Manager create it and put the files there?

I'm using a dual boot system with kubuntu 10.10 and windows vista.When I try to copy files from kubuntu to a windows drive, I see no problem.But when I retsart to windows usually I can't see my files. Once or twice I have seen files I copied in kubuntu. The strange thing is that when I go to kubuntu again, I don't see files I have copied in windows drive.

For our class project we are going to use HyperTerminal to communicate to something we are building that is attached to our laptops using USB. We're supposed to use HyperTerminal.URL...I can't believe that a program that does the same thing doesn't exist in Linux. What programs that can do the same thing are available in Linux and Mac OSX?

I have a dual boot windows XP/ubuntu 9.10 set up on one hard drive. Everything was working fine. The 9.10 install had been updated from 9.04. I recently had problems with the XP partition (XP basically collapsed) so I re-installed XP on the same partition it was on before. I then attempted to reinstall Ubuntu ( I decided I wanted a new 'clean' installation of Ubuntu as well). When I got to the partition function it refused to recognize that there is a Windows partition, or a previous ubuntu partition, but states 'No operating system installed' or similar, and offers the entire hard drive for installation. When I look at the partitions using Windows partition software the Windows and the ubuntu partitions are clearly in evidence. I have also tried to reinstall GRUB but it doesn't appear to exist.

Which package do I need to install to get this to work?

I'm taking over as a Linux admin where they use sendmail last week. I've done very little with email on linux, and haven;'t touched sendmail since 2000 so I am really out of my element.Basically the sendmail server for many months has had performance problems, disk, and load.Looking into it I found this doing a tail on /var/log/MaillogAug 25 17:11:49 web8 sendmail[1531]: o7OGF2VH002566: to=postmaster, delay=1+01:58:10, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=2388694, relay=[xx.xx.xx.xx], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: [10.10.20.107]:No route to hostAnd that was all it was spewing, I edited the config files because xx.xx.xx.xx doesn't exist. And running m4, then restarting sendmail.It is still spewing out that message, but I do see some things connecting to the new yy.yy.yy.yy address. I even greped the entire /etc looking for the old machine.
