Ubuntu lucid does not boot after update to 2.6.32.33.
Hi all,

I am using ubuntu 10.04 x64, kernel 2.6.32.32. Yesterday I installed updates to 2.6.32.33 and rebooted the system today. Since then, the system is not booting up and is throwing the following message:

Code:
Alert /dev/disk/by-uuid/<disk_id_here> does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) _

Right now I am logged in to 2.6.32.32 (recovery) mode. Before this could boot up, I had selected 'Update grub bootloader' option. After that, I selected 'resume [ resume normal boot ]'. I got into a shell, logged in, and startx.

Can anyone please tell me what has happened and how can I get my system up & running fine again?

Many Thanks.

germinate-pkg-diff

GERMINATE-PKG-DIFF(1)					  Ubuntu General Commands Manual				     GERMINATE-PKG-DIFF(1)

NAME

     germinate-pkg-diff -- compare seeds against currently installed packages

SYNOPSIS

     germinate-pkg-diff [-l file] [-m {i|r|d}] [-a arch] [seeds]

DESCRIPTION

     germinate-pkg-diff compares the expansion of a list of seed packages against the set of packages installed on the current system.	When con-
     structing seeds for a software distribution, it can be used to iteratively find packages installed on developers' systems that should be
     included in the seeds.

     A list of seeds against which to compare may be supplied as non-option arguments.	Seeds from which they inherit will be added automatically.
     The default is 'desktop'.

OPTIONS

     -l, --list file
	   Read the list of currently installed packages from file.  The default is to read the output of dpkg --get-selections, and any supplied
	   file should be in the same format.

     -m, --mode {i|r|d}
	   Set the output mode as follows:

	   i	 Show the dpkg selections needed to install just these seeds.  List unseeded but installed files as ``deinstall'', and seeded but
		 uninstalled files as ``install''.

	   r	 List unseeded but installed files as ``install'', and seeded but uninstalled files as ``deinstall''.

	   d	 Show the differences between the packages specified by the seeds and the list of installed packages, in a somewhat diff-like for-
		 mat.

     -S, --seed-source source,...
	   Fetch seeds from the specified sources.  The default is http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/.

     -s, --seed-dist dist
	   Fetch seeds for distribution dist.  The default is ubuntu.precise.

     -d, --dist dist,...
	   Operate on the specified distributions.  The default is precise.  Listing multiple distributions may be useful, for example, when exam-
	   ining both a released distribution and its security updates.

     -a, --arch arch
	   Operate on architecture arch.  The default is i386.

BUGS

     --mode r is useless as dpkg --set-selections input.
