Ubuntu 9.10 black screen problem after loading (solved)

Today problem: my customer computer (ubuntu 9.10) stuck with black screen after loading.

To see the problem details:
  • Enter the grub menu (press F2)
  • Press "E" to edit boot command
  • Delete text "quite splash" to see booting details
  • Press control+X to boot

    If you see like this:
    "Gave up wiating for root device. Common problems:
      - Boot args
        - check rootdelay= ...
        - check root= ...
     - missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
    ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/15448888-84a0-4ccf-a02a-0feb3f150a84 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
    BusyBox Built In Shell ...
    (initramfs)

    You have same problem with me, so this is the solutions:
    • Find your root drive partition, example "/dev/sda1"
    • Enter grub menu (press F2)
    • Press "E" to edit grub command
    • Change text "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-16-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ro quiet splash" with "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-16-generic root=/dev/sdaXX ro quiet splash".
    • Press ctrl+E to boot
    • Finish, you can access your ubuntu again ;)
