ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell...

["Fawad Nazir" <fawad.nazir@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I installing Ubuntu 5.10 with 2.6.16 kernel. Everything went well but
when i restarted the kernel it gave me the:

ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell
BusyBox v1.00-pre10 (Debian 20040623-1ubuntu22) Build-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of build-in command
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
#


I modified the /etc/mkinitramfs/modules, and now it looks like: (Also attached)

sd_mod
arcmsr
scsi_mod
dmesg
mptspi

The entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst is: (Also attached)

title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.16
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16
boot

Also my /etc/mkinitramfs/initramfs.conf is attached.

Please let know where/what i am doing wrong.

I will be thankful...
