I've just upgraded from hardy to 8.10 via the dist-upgrade and received this problem.

I unplugged all hard disks I didn't need and then tried to install 8.10 from CD, that worked just fine... except, the whole point of the machine is the RAID file share, so I plugged the drives back in, and it hangs on boot, intramfs error, says a UUID doesn't exist.

I have upgraded to the latest 2.6.27 kernel that's in the 8.10 updates, and that was no help.

Can anyone tell me how to manually use the old working kernel? I originally thought it was an upgrade problem, so I did a fresh install, and now grub no longer shows older kernels that i'd upgraded from. I believe it may work again if I go back to the way things were, but I'd rather just temporarily back down the kernel than reinstall hardy. The background image in intrepid is so much cooler. ;)
