Bug Description
After upgrading from dapper to eft (using apt-get), the kernel does not load any more. First, there goes kernel oops. Then, /sbin/modprobe abnormal exit. Then, it cannot find root filesystem (on SATA drive):
ALERT! /dev/sda3 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Then, it tries to start busybox and hangs forever (even CapsLock does not work).
If you need any more debugging info - I can provide (sorry, cannot do screenshot:)
This is really critical bug for me - the system is effectively dead.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'linux-image'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
