Hello, I've followed all the steps and now I have encountered a problem: my first kernel is: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=33955edc-fec5-404b-86fe-752e43531ca1 ro quiet splash and boots ok.
I've tried setting the default kernel to:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-14-ovz-686 root=UUID=33955edc-fec5-404b-86fe-752e43531ca1 ro quiet splash. When this kernel boots, I get the ubuntu image, and then it stops loading, redirects me to /bin/sh with the following error: /dev/disk/by-uuid/33955edc-fec5-404b-86fe-752e43531ca1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell.
Now, I've checked /dev/disk/by-uuid/33955edc-fec5-404b-86fe-752e43531ca1 (which is the same for both kernels), and it points to /dev/sda1, which is my primary hdd, so, theoretically, it should boot.
When it redirects me to the shell, I have a limited number of commands and a limited number of directories (including /dev), but there's no /dev/sda1 so I could try and mount manually.
My hardware is a Fujitsu Siemens laptop, with a SATA harddrive (might this be the problem?), and the OS is Kubuntu 8.10.
Could you please tell me if I'm doing something wrong?

Hi,

can you please boot into native Ubuntu kernel and post here:
* lsmod
* /var/log/messages
* lspci
* lspci -n

just want to make sure 2.6.18 kernel has the support for your disk controller.

Thank you.

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
