Upgrade Wheezy to Jessie - gave up waiting for root device



Hi all,

I'm busy with an upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie. I didn't had any issue during the upgrade so far, but I cannot boot into the new kernel (3.16.0-4-amd64).

When booting I get the following output: give up waiting for root device ...
I can still boot into the old kernel (3.2.0-4-amd64).

What I did so far:
* Reinstalled kernel image 3.16.0-4
* Reinstalled grub in MBR
* checked UUID of boot partition in grub
* in the command line of grub I can access the boot partition (using ls hd(0,1) ). Vmlinux and initrd.img are available.
* Added delay in grub settings

So far no result, all things I'v been trying end up in the "give up waiting for root device" error.

This is how the partition table is looking like:
Device     Boot     Start       End   Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1            2048 121636863 121634816   58G 83 Linux
/dev/sda2       164270080 167772159   3502080  1.7G  5 Extended
/dev/sda3       121636864 164270079  42633216 20.3G 83 Linux
/dev/sda5       164274176 167772159   3497984  1.7G 82 Linux swap / Solaris

output blkid:

/dev/sda5: UUID="f9795e42-60d7-48eb-a762-026be37e8e8f" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="000120c8-05"


Any idea how to solve this?
