The problem is that it seems the system is not booting correctly with kernel 3.4.0-030400-generic. I get the splash screen reporting Xubuntu (is this correct?) and then I get an error with a shell. KDE is not booted. The last message I see is:

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/disk/by-uuid/<uuid> does not exist.
Dropping to a shell!

And I have a shell here, which seems to be a shell of the initramfs and not that of my root partition. I'm not sure how, but if you need I can try to extract the kernel output of dmesg from here.
